In a display of strong leadership and clear commitment, Minister Nyumalin delivered a confident and principled statement in response to claims raised by the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC). At the center of this discussion is the Makona River, a critical natural boundary between Liberia and Guinea. Minister Nyumalin’s leadership at the Ministry of Local Government plays a pivotal role in this effort. Government officials have rallied in support of Minister Nyumalin, describing the allegations as unfounded and politically motivated. Efforts are currently underway to promote sustainable mining practices while safeguarding the livelihoods of communities that depend on the Makona River.
