Miringtoro expresses concern on government's lack of support for NBC

12/2/2013

 
Minister for Information and Communication, Jimmy Miringtoro, says although the N-B-C has achieved a milestone, lack of Government funding support continues to challenge its infrastructure roll-out programs.

Mr. Miringtoro expressed concern the N-B-C did not receive development funding in the 2014 national budget, to roll out vital communication service to the people.

And he's challenged the N-B-C to look at other ways of raising funds to sustain its operations, instead of relying on Government funding alone.

"This is because the government has sifted its priority to other major infrastructure impact project.

"As a result of this,I now challenge the NBC board and management to now look for other alternative, revenues to raise capital to roll out its radio infrastructure rehabilitation program.

"The time is now right for the NBC to take ownership and stock of its assets together with radio and television program in generate revenue to sustain its long term operations and community service obligations".
