Ivanhoe Atlantic has welcomed the Liberian Government's decision to establish an independent National Railway Authority, calling the move a significant step toward strengthening the country’s railway sector.
The company said that creating a dedicated authority could help expand economic opportunities and generate new jobs for Liberians, as the rail network has long been a key component of the nation’s transport infrastructure.
By separating railway oversight from other government bodies, the authority is expected to streamline decision‑making and attract investment into the sector, the company added.
While the announcement was brief, it signals a growing focus on improving Liberia’s logistics and connectivity, which are seen as vital for the country’s broader development goals.
Ivanhoe Atlantic’s endorsement underscores the potential benefits of a more robust railway system for both the private sector and the wider Liberian economy.
