The superintendent’s action is in fulfillment of her promise and commitment to achieve President Joseph Boakai’s agenda to rescue and improve the livelihoods of the ordinary people.
Sup. Gono has also embarked on an eviction exercise against unauthorized and insignificant occupants of the superintendent’s compound to vacate. The county’s superintendent whose appointment came under criticism based on her lifespan in the US has proven the wrong about her preferment and women’s leadership.

The building is the official residence of the Nimba County Superintendent and in time memorial hosted other national and international guests and government officials including the president of the state visit in the county. The status of the building years ago brought untold embarrassment, and disgrace to the county, leaving it as a ghost camp.
The compound which earlier hosted three African leaders has not been able to host any guests coming to the county because of the condition, and poor sanitation of the building due to past superintendents’ bad leadership and selfishness.
Meanwhile, the cost attached to the renovation job is not yet disclosed but it is expected to cover about hundreds and thousands of United States Dollars. On Monday, 8 April 2024, the Liberian Senate Committee on Internal Affairs confirmed Madam Kou Meapeh Gono as Superintendent of Nimba County.
The Eviction:
However, in a significant eviction notice, several unauthorized people occupying structures within the superintendent compound are leaving due to eviction order.

Years ago, several residents occupied and began illegal construction on the land without obtaining permission. Notably, hundreds family members privately residing in the area are expected to move in the coming days.
