Asueifien Ukarioniso Imo-Jack has received the 2026 Global Recognition Award. He is the Design and Construction Manager at AB-FABAI Services. The award is not a ceremonial gesture. It is a rigorous endorsement, based on the Rasch assessment model, of his data-led approach to building. His results are not anecdotal; they are audited, quantified, and repeatable.
Over fifteen years, Mr Imo-Jack has directed projects worth more than two billion naira. He has led multidisciplinary teams exceeding two hundred professionals. His safety record remains immaculate. His on-time delivery rate stands at 98 per cent. These are not fortunate accidents; they are products of systematic discipline.
His technical innovations have produced striking economies. Building Information Modeling reduced design conflicts by 30 per cent. Approval timelines shortened by 25 per cent. Artificial intelligence tools for cost analysis identified sixty million naira in potential savings. Earned-value forecasting and BIM-based budgeting further cut budget variance by forty-five million naira. Every figure attests to the same principle: precision protects profit.
Yet Mr Imo-Jack does not confine his expertise to corporate balance sheets. He has volunteered on five community projects. His advisory input improved resource efficiency by a quarter. Approximately three thousand citizens gained better access to facilities as a direct result. Infrastructure, in his view, must serve neighbourhoods, not merely shareholders.
His commitment to education is equally formidable. At Rivers State University, he has trained more than one hundred and twenty students in architecture and engineering. His instruction covers safety protocols, planning techniques, and technical management. He does not lecture; he equips. Graduates leave his sessions ready for responsible roles in both public and private sectors.
The construction industry in Nigeria is projected to grow by nearly 5 per cent in 2026. Urban investment is accelerating. Demands for accountability and efficiency have never been higher. Mr Imo-Jack’s integrated model, combining AI analytics, BIM collaboration, and rigorous mentorship, offers a clear pathway forward.
He is not simply building structures. He is building standards. He is building people, and with every project, every student, and every naira saved, he demonstrates that construction leadership, at its finest, is a moral as well as a technical calling.
