DR LENNOX Bernard, former resident tutor of the UWI School of Continuing Studies, has commended the Barbados government for its decision to purchase Banyan Ltd’s archives.

But he believes local stakeholders and institutions should have seen the benefit of purchasing the archives, which spans four decades.

“The vision of the honourable Mia Mottley and the government of Barbados cannot be faulted for their wisdom and foresight in seeking to be the repository of all things cultural in the region, especially those of Trinidad and Tobago that, to my mind, is the most unique, diverse and endearing information,” he told Newsday.
