The attention of the Daily Observer is drawn to a story carried in its Friday, April 19, 2019 edition headlined, “Niron Metals Company Sign MoU to Export Iron Ore”. It can be recalled that upon assumption of office in 2005, President Sirleaf called for a review of the then Mittal Steel concession signed by then Transitional Chairman Gyude Bryant. Moreover, ArcelorMittal estimates that between 50 to 60 thousand tonnes or iron ore per day will be transported on six trains a day. A lower rate of royalty may apply once the Concessionaire develops the necessary production facilities to enrich iron ore. This is a stinking national shame and disgrace!
