More than 500 education sector employees bought shares in open joint-stock company (OJSC) NBO Roghun on March 5, Noilsho Nouraliyev, a spokesman for the ministry of education (MoE), said, noting that it was not the first such action conducted by education sector employees to help Roghun’s construction.
