NBPOL

This week, NBPOL donated 1,400 COVID testing kits to the Goroka Provincial Hospitals’ Emergency Department, and four oxygen concentrators destined for selected district health facilities.

This donation was made by NBPOL Country Manager, Robert Nilkare and would go towards helping the province manage its high community transmission rate.

Recently appointed Chairman of the Eastern Highlands Provincial Health Authority (EHPHA), Fego Kiniafa, received the donation. He thanked NBPOL for saving the lives of thousands of people.

Receiving the donations on behalf of the provincial governments was Hela Administrator William Bando.

New Britain Palm Oil Country Manager, Robert Nilkare, said the least they can do is to assist the quake disaster by donating K50,000 to the victims.

He said although it was a substantial amount but they do feel for the victims in the quake disaster provinces.  

“We are very sorry and our condolences to those families who have lost loved ones and properties.”

New Britain Palm Oil country manager, Robert Nilkare, made the firm call during a panel discussion yesterday following the launch of the The Report: Papua New Guinea 2016, by the Oxford Business Group (OBG).

Nilkare said foreign investors must follow procedures and laws when applying to do business.

“My message to investors coming in, don’t come through the back door!

“Investors who want to come in, you come through the front door, do the right thing (and) pay your taxes.

The books included text books for Grades 7 & 8 and reading and activity books for the lower primary classes.
