Vice President Faisal Naseem met with the board members of the Maldives Association of Construction Industries (MACI) this morning at the President’s Office and discussed with them their ongoing awareness program on health and safety measures at construction sites.
The Vice President commended MACI on taking the initiative to raise public awareness on the issue of construction-site safety and on the measures MACI is taking relevant to it. He assured MACI of the government’s full support in their implementation. The Vice President appealed for others to follow MACI’s example and take the lead in addressing social issues without waiting for others to take action.
At the meeting the Vice President and the Board Members also spoke with regard to a possible program by MACI targeting schoolchildren intended to familiarize them with the construction industry and on the possible career avenues that it could open for them, as well as on a prospective convention centre that will be opened in Hulhumale’ in the future.
