The nbc's Board Chairman, Lazarus Jacobs says it is important for the corporation to own Miss Namibia as a subsidiary where every Namibian can take ownership.  
He says Miss Namibia is not just a pageant, but an Ambassador.

Jacobs paid tribute to Connie Maritz who carried and laid the foundation of the Miss Namibia brand over the years, saying it was not an easy task.

Debmarine Namibia has fronted N$2.5 million in sponsoring the organization going forward.

The nbc's Board Chairperson, Lazarus Jacobs says, the corporation has been at the forefront of supporting young people in furthering their career in broadcasting, despite opposite views by some.

Lazarus Jacobs made these remarks at the premiere of 14 short films produced in partnership with 'No Plot Productions' .

Narrating his life story on how the nbc paved way for his career, Jacobs says, opportunity still stands as the broadcaster has launched the careers of many through exposure and the strengthening of skills in the industry.
