ANGOLA WORKS MINISTER RECOGNIZES DEDICATED WORKERS IN BUILDING INDUSTRY

The Minister of Public Works, Urbanism, and Housing, Carlos dos Santos, praises and recognizes the dedication and role played by employees and collaborators in this sector in building an increasingly modern and inclusive Angola.

About the 46th anniversary of Angolan Builder’s Day, which is celebrated today, December 3rd, the government official points to the construction of public infrastructures that stimulate the country’s economic and harmonious growth and development as the main priority of the ministerial department.

To achieve this, he said, public and private entities must share in the efforts, to continually boost the Angolan economy and keep the sector among those that generate the most jobs and unite Angolans, shortening physical, cultural, and psychological distances.

The minister also considers Builders’ Day to be an opportune moment to pay tribute to all the pioneers, especially the First President of Angola, António Agostinho Neto, who instituted the event on 3 December 1977, after visiting housing buildings in Luanda’s Bairro Golf.

Finally, Carlos dos Santos comforted and recognized the contractors, planners, inspectors, artisans, professional associations, and other social partners who work together for a better Angola.

The Ministry of Public Works, Urbanism, and Housing (MINOPUH) is the auxiliary body of the Head of State and is responsible for proposing the formulation of policies and executing and controlling the Executive’s programs and projects in the areas of its activity. QCB/AC/DAN/DOJ
