Julius Berger Donates More Hospital Beds To Idu-Abuja COVID-19 Isolation Centre

BY GRACE ANYANWU, ABUJA – Nigeria’s leading construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, has kept its momentum of support with needed donations to the government,

WHO-nominated COVID-19 Isolation and treatment health institutions and to the larger social strata in the nation’s fight to stop the spread of the pandemic.

The Company which launched a series of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) donations including beds, mattresses, food palliatives as well as operational support to city disinfection,

fumigation and other logistical assistance to government efforts at all levels across the country, on Tuesday, April 21, 2020, again donated another batch of beds and mattresses, purpose-built container offices and sentry posts to the new Idu-Abuja Isolation Centre in the Federal Capital Territory.

Sequel to the company’s earlier donation of an ambulance to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Julius Berger also donated a large number of beds and mattresses to the teaching hospital for its Covid-19 roll back efforts last Thursday in Gwagwalada-Abuja.

Julius Berger’s head of Public Relations Office, Prince Moses Duku, said that as part of the construction giant’s increasingly proactive CSR efforts in the fight against the Corona virus pandemic, another food palliatives distribution project is also in the pipeline for residents of the FCT.

Duku noted that all the donations by the company are part of its continued committing resources to the war to stop the spread of Covid-19 in Nigeria.

Duku further said; “I only echo the socially sensitive Managing Director of Julius Berger, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter and, indeed, the Board of Directors and Executive Management of our company when I say …the fight against Covid-19 and its threat to human and environmental safety is a fight that must be won.”
