Infrastructure - District 9 - Nimba County: A Better Life

Infrastructure Challenges

Infrastructure is the backbone of development, and in District 9, that backbone is weak. Broken bridges and deteriorated roads leave entire towns isolated from markets, schools, and health clinics. Many homes, schools, and public facilities operate without electricity, while safe drinking water remains out of reach for too many communities.

The lack of reliable infrastructure not only stalls growth — it also limits progress in healthcare, education, agriculture, and empowerment. Until we connect our towns and power our communities, all other pillars of transformation remain constrained.

Foundational Commitment

We are committed to building the foundational systems that allow every other sector to thrive. Our approach includes:

Bridges & Roads

Repairing and constructing bridges and rehabilitating road networks to reconnect all 78 towns in the district.

Solar Electrification

Expanding clean, renewable energy to households, schools, clinics, and community facilities.

Water Systems

Installing boreholes, wells, and clean water solutions to ensure access to safe drinking water.

Community Buildings

Developing critical infrastructure — including town halls, guesthouses, schools, and clinics — to support both governance and service delivery.

Taking Important First Steps

Although this is a long-term agenda, we have taken important first steps:

18 Targeted Infrastructure Projects

We’re driving a disciplined, step-by-step development push across District 9 — with 18 targeted projects, four major road corridors, and more than 50 bridges slated for repair. Provided over USD 25,000 building materials for our current 2025/2026 priority, including the Mehnla Clinic, Volay School Project, Garnwee Guesthouse, Zuatown Clinic, Dorbor Town Hall, Kwendin Administrative Building, Kings Town Hall, and the Zekepah Market Hall — all designed to strengthen essential services and modernize our district’s infrastructure.

Lighting Up District 9

Worked with my colleague Hon. Musa Bility, who has committed 250 solar lights, with 50 already delivered — and we’re now moving toward an Energy-as-a-Service partnership to achieve 100% light coverage across District 9.

Road Rehabilitation

Rehabilitated more than 20 kilometers of roads to improve connectivity across our communities, while actively lobbying for stronger road investments within the national budget.
