Managing Director of STELCO, Dr. Ali Azwar, stated today that STELCO employees will work tirelessly to fulfill the aspirations of the government and the people.
Speaking at a special ceremony held to recognize the employees who worked during the transition phase of transferring Fenaka Corporation's services under STELCO, Azwar stated that due to the hard work of the employees, the work was completed within the stipulated time-frame.
Noting that STELCO's role and responsibility in providing utility services across the entire Maldives will be greater than before, Azwar stated that STELCO must fully fulfill its required role by taking the necessary steps to move things forward.
In order to reliably deliver on the expectations held in this regard at the government level and by the citizens, Azwar requested all employees of the company, especially those in the front lines, to work strategically.
"This responsibility is a responsibility placed on the shoulders of all of us. For that, all of us must work together," the MD stated.
Azwar also stated that what was completed with the hard work of many employees is a historically very important task, and that during the initial days of the first phase, regulations concerning employees must be fully upheld, and all employees must feel that STELCO is an organization that operates within a robust framework.
He also stated that after taking over the services, the next biggest and most challenging task is to provide services to the citizens at an adequate standard.
Azwar further stated that since providing a complete service at the island level as desired by the citizens is a very big expectation held of the company, a lot of work needs to be done to turn those expectations into reality.
Azwar stated that major investments are planned to develop services in large population centers, and that a target has been set to complete the relocation of powerhouses located in residential areas on the islands, which cause inconveniences to citizens, by November of next year.
While requesting the cooperation of all employees in that effort, Azwar expressed gratitude for the decision made by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu to elevate the standard of service.
