CSR: GOV ENO APPLAUDS AMITEC OVER 10 WATER PROJECTS IN ORUK ANAM, 50,000 EXERCISE BOOKS

…calls on other contractors, companies to emulate same

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has commended Amitec Construction and Development limited for initiating a corporate Social responsibility project mainly targeted at rural development, youth empowerment and educational advancement.

The Governor made the commendations on Saturday, while inaugurating the 23km Ikot Ekaide- Ikot Okoro- Ikot Ibritam road handled by the construction giants.

“Let me thank the MD of Amitec for taking the lead in sponsoring 5 Trainees to the Dakkada skills acquisition center and donating 10 water projects to communities in Oruk Anam as well as 50,000 copies of branded exercise books to the ministry of education.

“Earlier today, I was at DASAC for the convocation of pioneer Trainees of that institution where I called on contractors to support by sponsoring trainees for the next batch. I am very happy that our brother in Amitec has taken the lead.

“This of the kind of thing we want to see. So, I am calling on other contractors to also sponsor students to the skills training institute. When they finish, you give them starter-packs to start up something on their own” Gov Eno Stressed.

He however, directed the commissioner for education to ensure that 25,000 copies of those exercise books are distributed to schools in Oruk Anam while the other 25,000 can be shared to other schools across the state.

Speaking on the road project, Pastor Eno who was also full of praises to Amitec for quality delivery, expressed satisfaction that a project inherited from his predecessor at 50 percent has been completed. He promised to complete all other economically- viable inherited projects across the state while directing that solar street lights be fixed on the whole stretch of the 23km road.

Speaking earlier, the Managing Director of Amitec, Chief Aiman Saimua who was grateful to Governor Eno for his developmental strides and passion for rural development, said the company’s donation was simply to complement the Government’s visible effort in making life better for the citizens. His speech reads in parts:

“I feel honoured to have been chosen to handle this transformative project which represents a testimony that government in Akwa Ibom State is a continuum.

“The entire stretch of this road traverses 15 villages, out of which 10 of those villages belong to the 12.5km that was handled by Amitec.

“Therefore, to complement the developmental strides of the state government, we will donate 10 water projects for the 10 villages within our section, donate 50,000 copies of branded exercise books to the education ministry and also sponsor initially, 5 persons to DASAC.

Borno Govt Reaffirms Support for Correctional Services as New State Controller Assumes Office


The newly appointed 22nd Controller of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) in Borno State, Ibrahim Bawa, has pledged closer collaboration with the Borno State Government to strengthen correctional reforms and security efforts.

Bawa, who was formerly in charge of the Bauchi Custodial Centre, made the commitment during a courtesy visit to the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Prof. Usman Tar, at the Musa Usman Secretariat, Maiduguri.

Accompanied by key officials including Squadron Officer CSP Shettima Limanti, Staff Officer Umoru Jauro, and Public Relations Officer Bala A. Tisa Bawa expressed appreciation for the state government's continued support, particularly during the September 2024 Maiduguri flood disaster when relief materials were provided to inmates.

"I am here on a familiarization visit and to appreciate the unwavering support of the Borno State Government, especially during the recent flood disaster, where essential relief materials were conveyed to the inmates, as confirmed by my predecessor," Bawa stated.

Responding on behalf of the state government, Prof. Tar welcomed the new Controller, assuring him of the administration’s sustained partnership with security agencies.

"We are pleased that a son of the soil, who understands the terrain, has assumed this crucial role. The Nigerian Correctional Service is integral to the criminal justice system, and as the focus shifts from mere incarceration to correctional rehabilitation, our support remains critical," he said.

The commissioner further reaffirmed the government's commitment to enhancing the justice system, highlighting recent interventions such as the passage of the Criminal Justice Act and housing allocations for correctional service personnel.

"We will continue to work closely with you, particularly in reshaping public perceptions of correctional facilities. They are not condemned communities but places of rehabilitation and reintegration, and together, we shall change that narrative," Prof. Tar added.

The event was attended by senior officials of the Ministry including the Permanent Secretary, Modu Alhaji Mustapha (FCNA) Director of Administration and Supply, Babagana Mustapha, and Director of Information, Malama Habiba. Also in attendance was the Special Adviser and Spokesperson to the Governor, Mallam Dauda Iliya.

The event was concluded with the signing of the Visitor's Register and a group photograph.
