As we welcome a new month, we are also pleased to reflect on an important milestone—28 days since the current Executive Committee officially assumed office to serve the ASSP Nigeria Chapter.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to every one of you for being a valued member of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) and, more specifically, the Nigeria Chapter. Your commitment to the profession is the foundation upon which we will continue to build a stronger, more impactful Chapter.

Over the past four weeks, we have worked tirelessly to lay a solid foundation for a successful chapter year. Our commitment is to serve with integrity, excellence, transparency, and purpose. However, we recognise that achieving our vision is not the responsibility of the Executive Committee alone—it requires the collective effort, expertise, and passion of every member.

To strengthen our operations and increase member engagement, we have officially constituted our Chapter Committees and appointed Committee Chairpersons. We encourage you to actively engage with these committees, contribute your ideas, volunteer your expertise, and collaborate with us as we work towards achieving our shared goals.

At ASSP Nigeria Chapter, our members are our greatest asset. Your voice matters, your experience is valued, and your contributions are essential to our success. Together, we can build a vibrant professional community that influences safer workplaces, stronger organisations, and healthier communities across Nigeria.

We also encourage you to become ambassadors of the Society by promoting ASSP within your professional networks. Invite your colleagues, friends, and organisations to become members and experience the wealth of professional development opportunities, technical resources, networking platforms, and global best practices that ASSP offers.

As we move forward, we remain committed to working alongside you to advance the safety profession, strengthen strategic partnerships, develop future safety leaders, and promote a culture where safety is a shared responsibility from our homes to our workplaces.

Together, let us continue Building a Safer Nigeria Through Strategic Alliances: Protecting Lives from Home to Industry—Safety 1st!

Thank you once again for your trust, support, and dedication. We look forward to serving you and achieving even greater milestones together throughout this Chapter year.

Wishing you a productive, safe, and fulfilling new month!

Dr. Victor Nnamdi Egbe

American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) Nigeria Chapter 

Future Concerns Group demonstrated its continued commitment to advancing occupational safety and health education by partnering with the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) Nigeria Chapter to support the Students’ HSE Quiz Competition at the 13th Edition of the Nigeria Chapter Professional Development Conference (PDC). The event took place at the prestigious Hotel Presidential in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.

This collaboration underscored Future Concerns Group’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of safety professionals by investing in academic excellence and youth capacity development. Their sponsorship added significant value to the conference’s student-focused initiatives, helping to strengthen the bridge between industry leaders and emerging safety practitioners.

A major highlight of the competition was the outstanding performance of Joy Oghenekaro, who emerged as the overall winner. In recognition of her excellence, she received a cash prize of NGN 100,000.00, courtesy of ASSP Nigeria Chapter and other gifts awards from Future Concerns Group. Her achievement reflects the growing talent within Nigeria’s safety profession and the importance of platforms that encourage learning, competitiveness, and professional growth.

The partnership between Future Concerns Group and ASSP Nigeria Chapter not only enriched the 13th PDC but also reinforced the shared vision of promoting safety education, empowering students, and strengthening the future of occupational safety and health in Nigeria.

ASSP Nigeria Chapter members made their mark at Safety 2026 in Anaheim, California — from the energy of Nigeria Night to milestone moments on the conference floor. Highlights include Chief Dr. Essien and Mrs. Orepo celebrating at the Nigeria Night party, delegates connecting with ASSP leadership, and the presentation of the Nigeria Chapter’s history book to ASSP President Linda Tapp and CEO Jennifer McNelly.
