The National Communications Network (NCN) on Tuesday evening illuminated its administrative building\u00a0on Homestretch Avenue as part of activities marking Guyana’s 60th Independence Anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairman of the NCN Board, Raymond Cummings, said the national broadcaster has a responsibility\u00a0to promote unity and nation-building through its programming and public engagement. He noted that unlike 60 years ago, NCN now has the opportunity to tell Guyana’s story\u00a0of progress, resilience, and national development.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

“This gesture of the light up tonight is part of us showing that we are part of this nation\u00a0and leading the way in terms of getting other organisations to understand that you don’t\u00a0only sit and be spectators, but you could also be a part of what is happening around.\u00a0And while we tell the stories of what is happening around, we also like sometimes to be part\u00a0of the story,” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister within the office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Public Affairs, Kwame\u00a0McCoy praised NCN staff and management for the initiative.\u00a0He said the ceremony reflects national pride, patriotism, and the spirit of unity as Guyana\u00a0celebrates six decades of independence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The decorative and illuminative beauty of the occasion certainly connects with us, with\u00a0the nostalgic euphoria of our independence, to that historic moment of 60 years when Guyana\u00a0first raised this Golden Arrowhead as a free and sovereign nation, and tonight, as we light up the headquarters of NCN,”<\/strong> he said. <\/p>\n\n\n
