At the ceremony in Abuja, Julius Berger was celebrated by the ITF as a patriotic corporate citizen, adding that it has proven to be consistently compliant and committed to the important development and improvement of the country’s human capital index.
The ITF DG enjoined Julius Berger to continue to uphold its patriotic commitment not only to the development of visibly strong and durable infrastructures for Nigeria, but also to maintain its leading contributions to deepening knowledge and skills acquisition and transfer to Nigerians.
The Senior Training Manager, Mr Akin Ogunfuyi, who led Julius Berger’s delegation to the award ceremony where he received the award on behalf of the leading engineering construction company, said Julius Berger has over the decades become an institution in Nigeria’s corporate space.
