Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, a leading construction company, has reaffirmed its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by partnering with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to enhance safety measures during the 2023 yuletide holiday season. The initiative saw the donation of over 100 reflective jackets to support the FRSC in its endeavors to ensure road safety across Nigerian highways.
During the donation event, Mr. Trust Ekaji, representing the Julius Berger CSR team, underscored the company’s dedication to CSR initiatives.

Expressing gratitude for the donation, the Sector Commander of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chorrie Isah Muta’a, praised Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for its generosity. He emphasized the critical role these reflective jackets would play in aiding FRSC personnel, particularly during periods of increased traffic on roads.

It is imperative for us to ensure the safety of both our personnel and the public we serve.”
