The weather was fine today, and the smiling of happiness from the Outer Islands Infrastructure Technicians showed their enthusiasm as they attended and were ready for the lesson and workshop, which officially opened on 25 May 2026 at Awira Hall in the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy compound in Betio.

Led by the Officer in Charge, Senior Assistant Secretary Ms. Moanibou Areke Muller, together with the Acting Director General Mr. Santanu and several Heads of Departments from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy, all OIAIT officers attended the formal opening. However, the officer from Nikunau was unable to attend the first opening due to a flight delay.

During the Formal Opening, the welcome remarks were delivered by OIC SAS Muller, who highlighted the crucial importance of the workshop and the lessons learned for the OIAIT.

“Through the lessons covered, participants will gain a better understanding and grasp of the areas that need to work together on various tasks, and maintain good coordination between the outer islands and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy Headquarters on tasks that need to be carried out,” the OIC said.

“This event is very important to us because everyone in the department will have the opportunity to share the latest updates, discuss the work carried out and monthly monitoring activities, and review the outcomes of projects. There are many important matters to address, and we also want to discuss the success of the work based on your performance. Even though there may be challenges, please feel free to raise any questions regarding difficult matters,” the Director said.

The focus of this workshop for the OIAIT is to ensure that they return to their respective islands with improved capabilities and continue to follow the National Conditions of Service and the Ministry policies under which they work.

Therefore, the workshop lasted two weeks, and the schedule concluded on 05 June 2026.
