HENSEK – A Consummate Engineering Force in Nigeria

By Samuel Udoma

HENSEK Integrated Services – the Nigerian construction giant has blazed many trails in engineering excellence and innovation in the country. HENSEK’s unparalleled work ethic, professionalism and timely delivery on projects has also elevated the trust on indigenous contractors in Nigeria.

Since emerging as a tiger on the scene of engineering in Akwa Ibom State, which hitherto, was almost an exclusive reserve of foreign firms, HENSEK has been shooting for the skies. The company has equally inspired a generation of new other indigenous firms, including U&K – who is earning praises for its work on the remodeled CKS Primary School, Wellington Bassey Way, Uyo.

Another of HENSEK’S major contribution to Akwa Ibom and Nigeria at large is the provision of employment and skilled manpower to the teeming youth population. Nearly one hundred percent of HENSEK’S staff are Nigerians, with a large chunk being Akwa Ibomites. At HENSEK, these workers are honing their professional skills, technical know-how and project management resumé. HENSEK has basically taken thousands of youths off the street and given them sustainable livelihood.

The success of the HENSEK brand is embodied by the MD/CEO himself – Engr. Uwem Stephen Okoko. Okoko, a fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, is the epitome of accomplishments and social humanism. He is the archetypal Go-to-guy for anyone who desires to ‘get the job done’.

Engr. Okoko clearly belongs in the pantheon of engineering greats in Nigeria at the moment. Here is a man who combines a great sense of duty with immense social capital. He is often lauded for his work and for his deep philanthropy. One will always see the imprimatur of HENSEK on every laudable initiative in Akwa Ibom State.

The construction imprints of HENSEK dot the canvass of Akwa Ibom State. From the well loved, state of the art, ‘Ring Road 3’, to the exquisite ‘Ring Road 2’ to hundreds of kilometers of superbly delivered roads, the refurbished Akpan Andem Market, HENSEK has become a toast in the lips of Akwa Ibomites.

Therefore, it is only fitting that we continue to celebrate HENSEK, the Man and his Brand – who have become a Siamese pride of Akwa Ibom State and beyond. And as I have always said of Him, excellence is only, but a call to greater service. Cheers HENSEK!
