They’ve provided chairs for students and is currently paying staffs which has massively increased the number of instructors teaching, and quality education is now being given to our children through Bea mountain,’’ he said on OK FM. The company is into gold mining in Cape mount county, western Liberia.
The company he said is paying nurses at the clinic salaries it its operation area. It is one of the clinics that nurses are well paid as compared to other nurses in the county in other clinics.
