NBC Western to undergo major works

Minister for Information and Communication Technology, Timothy Masiu, said the Daru-based office will undergo immediate major maintenance after it was condemned.

“I met with the NBC Managing Director and Deputy Managing Director on Tuesday and was informed that funding was made available through the Public Investment Program (PIP) budget this month for this major renovation work to commence,” Masiu stated.

The Minister said the Daru studio building was condemned by the Provincial Health Authority in August 2019 but NBC was only given its notice in February 2020.
