PERM SECT LAUDS GOV ENO FOR SETTING UP AKIAMMA, ASSURES ROBUST SYNERGY

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has been commended for his vision and initiative of instituting an Agency saddled with the responsibility of managing and maintaining State Government’s infrastructure and assets, describing it as a welcome development and a step in the right direction.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Elder Ini Ikie made the commendation when he received in audience Board members of the newly established Akwa Ibom State Infrastructure and Assets Management and Maintenance Agency (AKIAMMA), led by the Chairman, Elder Udo Sam Umotang, who were on a familiarization visit to the Ministry, Wednesday in Uyo.

Let me thank our dear Governor, Pastor Eno, for his vision and the passion he has exhibited in his work and governance because without that passion, that zeal and understanding, this Agency would not have come to being. We have not had this before, so it is a welcome development”.

Elder Ikie who acknowledged the importance of the Agency in Public Service as regards service delivery, especially against the backdrop of MDAs struggling to maintain and manage their respective assets and liabilities, expressed delight that with AKIAMMA on board, properties of Akwa Ibom State Government within and outside the State would be effectively managed and maintained accordingly.

The Permanent Secretary who was flanked by Directors of the Ministry, assured the Agency of support and collaboration for the actualization of their set goals.

Earlier, the Chairman of AKIAMMA, Elder Udo Umotang who took time to highlight the core mandate of the Agency, stressed the need for both parties to foster robust synergy as well as create a comprehensive database system of government-owned assets under the Ministry to facilitate optimal usage and sustainability of those assets.

He appreciated the Permanent Secretary and Staff of the Ministry for the warm reception accorded him and his team, and presented forms for enlistment of Government assets and facilities of the Ministry.

Also speaking, another member of the board in charge of Health, Safety and Environment, Prof Ekaete Etuk, underscored the importance of good health and safety in the office environment, saying that a healthy workforce is more productive, contributing positively to the State’s development.

Prof Etuk expressed Government’s resolve to create a conducive work environment in the State Public Service, devoid of stress, accidents and diseases.
