Liberia must rapidly restructure its land tenure system. This was reported by Yacoub El Hillo, Special deputy representative of the UN secretary general. According to the official, land reform will help consolidate peace and sustain stability and prosperity in the country.
Hillo who was speaking on June 21, during a two-day meeting in Monrovia under the theme “Improving Citizen's Engagement in Concessions Management”, said the good management of land issues would insure equity, prosperity and economic development for Liberians.
Hillo recalled on the same occasion that a survey conducted in 2016 by the Liberia Peace Building Office, revealed that land and concession issues are the main sources of conflict in the country.
