Voinjama, Lofa County – The management of ECOBANK in Voinjama is considering a decision to quit operations in Lofa County for what bank terms as ‘’too much of withdrawals, but low deposits’’ by customers. Many of its tellers have been downsized and there are only two that are now seen serving customers. Superintendent Kamba said there’s need for a mass forum to engage citizens, organizations and groups within the county to open accounts with the bank. Civil servants, who trooped from afar to collect their salaries, have often complained of challenges and delays in receiving their money. As it stands, many fear that the closure of the bank will hamper the already struggling local economy of the county.
