The Lofa Senior Professionals Group (LSPG), with support from the Lofa County Legislative Caucus, on Thursday, February 19, 2026, hosted a daylong orientation workshop on a proposed 10-year roadmap for the development of the Wologizi Range. According to the Deputy Minister, the objective is to move away from a system where foreign companies acquire exploration licenses with minimal capital, leverage them to raise funds abroad, and eventually extract significant profits with limited national ownership. Providing an overview, a member of the Lofa Senior Professionals Group, Mr. Ounzuba Kemeh-Gama, a technology professional, explained that the initiative was independently conceived by Lofa professionals seeking to rethink how natural resources can better serve national development. The workshop provided participants the opportunity to review the roadmap, offer technical input, and ensure that any future development of the Wologizi Range prioritizes transparency, national ownership, and sustainable economic growth. The group says the initiative represents a new vision for resource sovereignty and inclusive industrialization, positioning Lofa County as a potential model for responsible mineral development in Liberia.
