in his keynote address, Deputy Minister for Nauru Media, Pyon Deiye highlighted how Radio and Nauru Television will transmit on digital once the equipment are up and running.

Deputy Minister Deiye added that the new building will allow media staff to work in a much safer and cleaner environment.

He thanked former media management for their efforts in spearheading the project from the ground up and contractor Reliable Construction on delivering the project.

The Acting Secretary for Nauru media, Kaelyn Dekarube said media staff will endeavor to do their best in their responsibilities.
