During his remarks Minister Laroda recognized the staff of the northern service.  He said, “I come here as I go to every other island and we’re gonna put Clint and those other Nassauvians aside and acknowledge those on this island who do such a good work in particular the north.  So Ally and Shasheena and Darren, HR Manager and your staff.  ZNS is more than just a station, it is the station that we turn into for news but not only news events. We were so impressed at the coverage of ZNS when it came to Dorian but ZNS is also in the north, a community entity that partners with, for example, the Grand Bahama Children’s School, that do initiatives like healthy lifestyles.”

BCB Executive Chairman, Picewell Forbes also addressed congregants.  Forbes said, “we’re proud to have our evening newscast from the north lead into our general programming on the national station.  The product is one that is a sterling product, one that makes us all proud and I want to commend them here because are an award winning team in Grand Bahama.”

Rounding out the speakers was General Manager, Clint Watson.  He expressed his pleasure in supporting the Grand Bahama team.  “They’re the finest employees I gat in the Corporation, I ain’ mind saying that live.  They’re disciplined, they’re talented, they’re committed, they’re dedicated and boy they know how to have a good time, that’s all I can say.”

Before the end of the service Bishop Godfrey Williams offered a prayer for the staff.
