The Commissioner for Housing and Special Duties, Mr. Akan Okon, has reiterated his Ministry’s commitment to ensuring that projects under its watch are completed according to specifications and put to use.

Mr. Okon, who made this know recently during a meeting with the new management team of Ibom Specialist Hospital, Clinotech Group of Canada, paid him a courtesy visit, expressed pleasure that Engr. Oliver Ebong was still the consultant for the project and acknowledged his efforts at ensuring progress and success of other similar projects.

The Commissioner said the meeting was apt and for all parties who were involved in the construction of the Ibom Specialist Hospital as well as the new management to interface with the Ministry, adding that “the intention of Clinotech Group of Canada is to ensure a 100% completion of all structures in the Hospital.”
While appealing for all contractors to show maximum commitment and cooperation with the new management, Mr. Okon also charged Clinotech Group of Canada to accommodate all parties involved in the project.

In his remarks, the Principal Partner/Consultant for the project, Engr. Oliver Ebong of Olkem Nigeria Limited, said the coming of the Clinotech Group of Canada has brought hope to all contractors and assured that the hospital project will be successfully completed.
He assured the new management team of maximum cooperation and appealed to them to look into the issues of outstanding debts.

The Project Finance Advisor, Mr. I. N. Osemeke, commended the Housing and Special Duties Commissioner for his cooperation and promised not to let down the high expectation and confidence reposed on them by the Akwa Ibom State Government.
He further confirmed that the hospital has all required equipment and stressed that the Radiodiagnosis and Investigations Units are on, adding that there were plans to put in place a power solution to give the hospital 24 hour power supply.

Also in his remarks, the President/CEO of Clinotech Group Canada, Dr. Harrison Ofiyai, said they were of the impression that the Hospital was completed for them to come and manage but on arrival and after thorough inspection, they discovered it was not fully completed.
He expressed their determination to complete all aspects of the facility to help them manage the hospital professionally and profitably, and also promised to make use of the initial contractors to achieve the completion of the work within nine months.
