NIB Office-Tobago Closed, THA to Help.

N.I.B. of T&T

If you have noticed a huge pile of brown clay spreading out on the parking lot of the NIB mall, it might very well be linked to work being done on the sewer which have been malfunctioning.  The National Insurance Board's (NIB) office located at Scarborough has been closed for the past month.

A meeting was convened by Orville London, Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) in an effort to discuss the problems experienced at the office. 

During its closer, beneficiaries, many of which are elderly citizens have been seriously affected as they were unable to access services. 

Hilton Sandy, Deputy Chief Secretary and Secretary of Infrastructure indicated after the meeting, that remedial work to the sewer system at the mall will commence almost immediately. He further indicated that staff from his Division and the Waster and Sewerage Authority will be at work until the problem is fixed.

In the interim, the NIB has been relocated while general repairs are being undertaken.
