Upper Mazaruni Council calls for indigenous issues to be addressed at NTC

The representative of eight Indigenous villages in Region Seven wants their concerns addressed by the government without delay and not be subjected to empty promises.

In a release yesterday, the Upper Mazaruni District Council (UMDC) stated that it is “eager” to hear what the government’s proposals were for Indigenous development at the upcoming Conference of the National Toshaos Council (NTC) and would like its concerns addressed in an “urgent manner.”
