A renowned pro-democracy institution in Liberia, the Civil Society Network of Liberia (CSNL), has lauded renowned businessman in Liberia, Upjit Singh Sachdeva, commonly known as “Jeety” for his numerous contributions to the growth and development of Liberia, through diverse economic investments and humanitarian works.

   The Civil Society Network of Liberia in a release said, “We wish to laud Indian Businessman Jeety for enormously contributing to the growth and development of the Liberian economy, through his US$35 million rubber manufacturing company investment, the recent takeover of the Salala Rubber Company (SRC) and other economic empowerment programs in Liberia. The Jeety Rubber Factory is an economic force for good that provides job opportunities for thousands of Liberians, increases the revenue envelope through the payment of regular taxes, and contributes economically to the communities and farmers within and around its area of operation. Apart from the provision of employment for Liberians, the Jeety Rubber Factory is providing US$40 million to US$50 million revenue annually to the Liberian government.”

   The CSNL further commended Jeety for taking over the Salala Rubber Company (SRC), which was at the verge of rendering many Liberians jobless. Since taken over, Jetty has increased workers’ salaries and embarked on the renovation of the corporation’s three school campuses and clinic.  The purchase of SRC, the group said, has given Jetty Rubber Company the immense space to achieve the goal of producing “made in Liberia” rubber products, including latex gloves and tires in the short- and long-term.

   The group also hailed Jeety for his humanitarian gestures towards prison facilities around the country, including the South Beach Prison Compound. Jeety has carried out technical work at the Monrovia Central Prison facility for the provision of running water. During the deadly COVID-19 period in Liberia, Jeety Corporation began the distribution of hot, cooked meal to old folks and disadvantaged youths in central Monrovia. On several occasions, Jeety was seen serving free food to old folks and disadvantaged youths called “zogoes” throughout Monrovia and its suburbs.

   In conclusion, the Civil Society Network of Liberia called on businessman Jeety to keep contributing to Liberia’s economy through his varied investment portfolios. They recognized the impacts of Jeety’s humanitarian gestures, which has enabled many underprivileged and disadvantaged Liberians to be fed on a regular basis.
