Nigeria's
fastest growing and most innovative telecommunications company, Etisalat has
lent its support to the third West African Safety Health Environment and
Quality (WASHEQ) Conference held in Lagos recently.
Chief Commercial
Officer, Etisalat Nigeria, Matthew Willsher said that as a company, Etisalat
Nigeria places priority on issues of safety, health, environment and quality,
hence it was an easy decision to identify with the Conference and its
objectives.
“Etisalat is
an organization that is particular about quality of service, but quality can
only be guaranteed when employees are safe and in good health. Good health to a
great extent can be impacted by the environment, hence we make conscious
efforts to strike a balance in all the key areas,” Willsher said.
Focal Point
for WASHEQ in Nigeria, Engr. Jamiu Badmos, said: “We brought this year’s
conference to Nigeria because there are quality, health, safety and environment
challenges confronting the economy and we feel that holding it here would help
address, and proffer solutions to these challenges, thereby impacting on
socioeconomic activities in Nigeria and by extension West Africa.”
The 2013
WASHEQ conference held under the theme “Avoid Being in The Line of Fire,” with
active participation from relevant stakeholders including the Federal Road
Safety Commission, representatives of the Lagos State government and leading
corporate bodies in West Africa.
The WASHEQ
is an initiative of a Ghanaian non-profit organisation, SHEQ Foundation with
the first two conferences held in Ghana in 2011 and 2012.
