The Management of Bea Mountain Mining Corporation, over the weekend, broke ground for the repairing of damaged road spots.
This took place after BMMC had commenced road construction, as well as hand pump construction in Cape Mount.
The company saw the need to repair the damaged spots, located on the Ibrahim Bambagida Highway. It also connects the Main junction to Garwula District, Grand Cape Mount County.
During the ground-breaking ceremony, Grand Cape Mount County District 2 lawmaker, Mohammed Dosii, welcomed and thanked Bea Mountain Mining Corporation for honoring his request.
“Few days ago, I met the management of BMMC so we can do the roadside brushing. Thank God the management agreed and we are going to do the ground breaking today. Few days from now, the young people of Grand Cape Mount County will take over the roadside brushing,” he said.
He said such initiative by the company was one way of empowering the youths in the county.
“This is youth empowerment. We will be doing this every year from now to Bo waterside.”
Bo waterside is the boundary between Liberia and Sierra Leone, which is about 299km (185mi).
Dosii promised working with the management for the good of the communities.
He said these are the good corporate initiatives which they expect from the company. “We are happy to see that BMMC is working with the people of Grand Cape Mount County,” he said during the ceremony.
For his part, the Government and Community Relations manager for BMMC, Alpaslan Ozbilge, said the company is always ready to carry on impactful projects for the communities. The company has already embarked on series of projects in recent times, ranging from rehabilitation of roads to construction of borehole hand pumps.
The management said, as long as they are in these communities, they will continue to provide the needed projects to empower the citizens, especially the youths.
