Press Release/Ministry of Mines And Energy |Liberian Government under the leadership of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, will shortly be petitioned to establish a mining company exclusively owned and operated by the government, which will promote greater employment opportunities for trained Liberian geologists and mining engineers. With the proposed name of ‘National Mining Company of Liberia’, which acronym will be determined when the presentation of the recommendation is being made, is meant basically to create the much more desired job availability environment for Liberian Engineers and Earth Scientists to mainstream in their sector. LISESE, the society of earth scientists and engineers believes, that with the current trend, Liberian geologists, mining engineers, petrologists, electrical engineers, among others, are given less attention and priorities in job placement by mineral concessions and other categories of mining in Liberia. William Hines, the Deputy Minister for Operations at the Mines and Energy Ministry, represented by Cooper Pency of the Cadastre unit of the Ministry (Mines and Energy), assured cordial relations between the government and the Engineers. Hina is the Co-Chairman, while Gleekai, Deputy Inspector-General of the Ministry of Mines and Energy is the Secretary General of LISESE.
