MINISTER of Culture and Community Development Michelle Benjamin has given a commitment to seek a way forward for Pan Trinbago and the three steelbands which have lost their sponsorships from the National Gas Company (NGC).
NGC's termination of its sponsorship for Couva Joylanders, La Brea Nightingales and Steel XPlosion of Tobago became effective on September 11.
The sudden termination of this partnership has left the pan fraternity in upheaval, with the named steelbands scuttling to secure funding to implement planned programmes and get ready for the 2026 Panorama season – the cornerstone of Carnival.
