The Liberian Labour Ministry has suspended work permits for Unskilled Expatriate workers, in order to prioritize employment opportunities for Liberian job seekers.
The announcement follows Minister Cooper Kruah’s recent tour of several foreign-owned companies in Nimba County, including Arcelor Mittal and AFCONS.
During this visit, he received numerous complaints from local workers about the excessive number of unskilled expatriates filling roles that Liberians are qualified to perform.
Grace Joshua in Monrovia completes this report.
