The Ministry of Mines and Energy continues to intensify effort geared towards improving its Decentralization activities.
As part of said drive, the Ministry embarked upon a two day intensive capacity building initiatives for its mining and Geologists staff.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Wilmot Paye, challenged County Officers set to take assignments soon, to be dutiful and commit themselves to serving their Country with diligence amid associated challenges.
Minister Paye admonished mining officers to stand up to challenging circumstances they may encounter whilst discharging their duties.
He urged all staff of the Ministry to stand up in order to radically transform the mining and energy sectors.
This way, those the Minister termed as “bad elements” will stand alone and be exposed.
The convening of the two-day orientation exercise and subsequent deployment of the Mines and Energy representatives in the various Counties brings to actualization, Minister Wilmot Paye’s plan to decentralize the Ministry.
Among other things, The flagship program of the Senior Management Team of the Ministry of Mines and Energy is intended to make services of the Ministry available and accessible at the county level to ease the burden associated with long travels from distant locations to reach the Monrovia head-office by those interested in mining activities, as well as energy services.
The training which is focusing on policy and regulatory frameworks of both mining and energy sectors is being facilitated by the Senior Staff of the Ministry including Deputy, Assistant Ministers, and Directors from the departments of Operations (Mines), Energy, and Administration.
