Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has continued to support the Federal Government in aiding youth empowerment for a better future against the backdrop of prevailing economic and related downturns in the country.

This is just as another batch of trainees graduated from the Plant and Equipment Academy of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc.

Speaking at the event, the company’s Director of administration, Abdulaziz Kaita, described it as a celebration of another key mileage in the company’s consistency of purpose and proactive contribution to the country’s industrial and technological development and advancement .

According to him, developing Nigeria’s teeming youths for a productive future cannot be left to the government alone. He said patriotic corporate citizens must seek ways and opportunities to aid the government in the foregoing regard.

Stating that the spate of insecurity in the land poses another cause for worry, the director said, “If we train more youths, we can take them out of the streets, and all these issues of insecurities we have in Nigeria may be, will be over.”

Kaita commended a major partner in Julius Berger’s effort, the Armed Forces Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Mechatronic School (AFEME), for their continued support.

Head of Julius Berger Plant and Equipment Department, Francois Roos, who kick-started the programme, praised the graduating youths for seizing the opportunity of the training programme to develop themselves as well as encouraging people around them to engage in similar training.

He also thanked everybody who contributed to the life of the trainees for helping to fulfil their dreams.
