NIMBA-The veteran journalist, Jonathan Paye-Layleh, has presented thirty thousand Liberian dollars to the Nimba Community Radio Association (NICORA) in appreciation of the peaceful resolution of a misunderstanding that had hampered the running of the association for some time.
In a communication accompanying the donation, Mr. Paye-Layleh, himself from Nimba, saluted the association for its determination to put the past behind and move ahead for the achievement of the purpose for which the body was formed.
He recalled a disturbing situation when he had been invited to install officers-elect of the association in Ganta, but the event was called off due to a misunderstanding within the leadership.
The veteran journalist had earlier donated twenty thousand Liberian dollars as his contribution to the ongoing relocation exercise of the famous Radio Saclepea in Nimba County.
Meanwhile, Mr. Paye-Layleh is urging journalists in Nimba County to cover the upcoming by-election in District One with impartiality and avoid taking sides with candidates.
