The Movement with Integrity for National Development (MIND) has lauded the Director of Mines at the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Arma Fully, whom the group recognizes as a professional in the mining sector.
Recognizing the vital importance of this position in the revenue packaging of the country, MIND said it has thought to bring public attention to this ‘illustrious public servant’ who has acquired skills in the field of Mining, Petroleum, Geology, Energy, and Procurement, thus setting him in a suitable position to adequately provide services to the republic in the vital space of mining and energy.
The CSO group recalled that in 2017, when Fully was brought onboard as Director of the Hydrocarbon Department at the Ministry of Mines and Energy, he diligently discharged his assigned function, which made him best suited to serve as acting Assistant Minister of Mines for six months in 2022.
They also said Fully served in 2019 as the National Focus-Person on Natural Resources and Hydrocarbon with the ECOWAS, which awarded him an opportunity to serve at the regional level, exemplifying hard services delivered in the role of a Geologist with the National Oil Company of Liberia-the state’s entity for the management of hydrocarbon and crude oil mining on and offshore.
“Fully’s several decades of work as a professional geologist and expert on hydrocarbon, both at national and international level, speak to his professionalism and capacity for continuous service in this important sphere of national resource governance,” MIND noted.
The CSO Movement explained that, internally, as Director of Mines of the Bureau of Mines within the Mines and Energy Sector of Liberia, Fully, in consultation with top bosses, effected the following changes aimed at strengthening government control of a major revenue poll.
MIND’s Executive Director, Sekou D. Sonii, then called on the government to continue to maintain Fully for his service over the years, or promote him where necessary to ensure that the Ministry meets its optimal objective through professionalism and expertise.
MIND, as a CSO group, concluded by pledging its support to this young Liberian professional, and cautioned against diabolical misjudgment on the part of any higher authority to replace, if not for a higher office, this outstanding and brilliant young Liberian geological and hydrocarbon expert.
