Nimba County Senator Nya D. Twayen has sparked controversy by claiming that ArcelorMittal’s touted $1.4 billion infrastructure project in Nimba is not real.
According to Senator Twayen, ArcelorMittal’s bragging about the project is misleading, and the company has neglected the Mineral Development Agreement (MDA).
In a Facebook post, Senator Twayen announced a press conference to reveal what he termed “AML Dismal Neglect” of the MDA and alleged mishandling of relations by politically exposed persons.
He emphasized that the people of Nimba and Liberia deserve a better deal from ArcelorMittal in any pending renewal.
Background
ArcelorMittal is a global steel giant and mining company with operations in various countries, including Liberia.
While the company has made significant investments in the country, concerns about its adherence to agreements and impact on local communities have been raised.
Developing Story
This story is still unfolding, and further details are expected to emerge after Senator Twayen’s press conference.
The controversy surrounding ArcelorMittal’s infrastructure project raises questions about transparency and accountability in the mining industry.
