P25m shot in the arm for Arts Council

After almost three years since establishment, the Council has only started to fully operate this year following the appointment of the chief executive officer, Shombie Ellis and other office bearers.

Among other functions, the NACB was established to coordinate governance, facilitate cultural exchanges with other countries and stakeholders, advise the government on matters relating to arts and culture, and encourage and facilitate the commercialisation of arts and cultural activities.
