In March last year, Korninga B Community Forest signed an agreement with Indo Africa Plantation Liberia to allow logging in its forest, which stretches across 31,818 hectares in Bopolu District. By now, the company should have made a contribution to the chiefdom of US$30,000 for scholarship and US$25,000 for medical support. It should have also constructed a modern youth center.
