‘Artificial hair hub’ in Liberia

Liberian president George Weah has welcomed a visiting Chinese business delegation whose aim is to set up an artificial hair factory in the west African country.

The delegation, from Central China’s Henan Ruimei artificial hair production firm, said it intends to use Liberia as a hub for artificial hair production in Africa.

The establishment of its factory in Liberia will create jobs for 3,000 to 5,000 local people within three years, according to the Chinese firm.

The firm also said it will train 20 or more young Liberian women in China ahead of its operation in Liberia.
