The Chairman emphasised the need to further strengthen resource mobilisation and accelerate construction activities. He noted that the project remains under the close attention of the Company’s leadership and instructed all parties involved to optimise operational processes. Particular focus was placed on strict compliance with industrial and fire safety requirements, including enhanced supervision of works carried out during night shifts.
