Gov Eno’s Aide, Kach Construction Forge Partnership to Enhance Safety Practices

The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Health, Safety and Environment, Mrs. Jayne Ufot, has partnered with Kach Construction Limited, to deepen safety compliance and institutionalize best practices in Akwa Ibom State.

Speaking during an interactive meeting with the SSA on Thursday March 26, 2026 in Uyo, the Managing Director of Kach Construction Limited, Charles Makhoul, lauded Governor Umo Eno for his interventions and progressive measures implemented across the state in the area of safety, noting that the initiatives are unprecedented.

“We thank you for the work you are doing. We are very familiar with Akwa Ibom. This is the first time I see this kind of thing happening in the area of safety,” he said.

While pledging continuous collaboration with the SSA’s office, Mr. Charles assured that his company would actively support safety initiatives and donated 100 reflective jackets to strengthen safety operations on construction sites.

Responding, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Health, Safety and Environment, Mrs Jayne Ufot, attributed the progress recorded in the sector to the visionary leadership of Governor Umo Eno.

She also called on private sectors, including construction firms, to partner with her office in promoting safety compliance, supporting ongoing initiatives, and institutionalizing best practices across the State.

Mrs. Ufot who noted that the creation of her office underscores the administration’s deliberate commitment to drive safety policy, highlighted the administration’s achievements in the area of safety.

She said Governor Eno believes that the future must be built through deliberate action, stressing that under his watch, primary healthcare centres have been revitalized and now provide free basic healthcare services to children, pregnant women and the elderly.

She added that emergency medical services have also been strengthened, with improved response systems and better trained personnel ensuring timely interventions whenever they are needed.

She noted that the present administration has, for the first time institutionalized a safety culture across Ministries, Departments and Agencies through the recruitment of 100 Safety Officers and ongoing safety audits.

She further disclosed ongoing initiatives under her office, including the School-to-School safety awareness campaign which commenced at Ewet Technical College, where a Safety Prefect was appointed and a safety club inaugurated to instill safety consciousness among students in technically oriented institutions.
