At an event held in the Garki area, FCT Mandate Secretary for Women Affairs, Dr. Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi, commended Julius Berger for prioritising women’s empowerment. “We must appreciate the corporate entity of Julius Berger in Nigeria. In the FCT, it is recognised as the number one engineer and architect of roads and infrastructure,” she said, highlighting the company’s track record in delivering infrastructure projects.
Director of the Women Development Department, Aina Sanni, described the initiative as a major milestone for the FCT Women Affairs Secretariat. “We are so grateful to Julius Berger, and we hope to keep this partnership going because it’s something we would not want to lose.”
Julius Berger’s Chief Risk Officer, Shakira Mustapha, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to community development. “When you empower a woman, you empower her family, her community, and ultimately, the nation. We are committed not only to our company’s growth but also to the progress of our community and country.
The initiative provided beneficiaries with manual and industrial sewing machines, grinding machines, hair dryers, and gas cookers. One of the beneficiaries, Patricia Amos, expressed gratitude for the support. “I am really excited to receive this gift. Honestly, I can only say a very big thank you to Julius Berger. They have given us hope.”
Another recipient, overwhelmed with emotion, added, “I am short of words, but thank you very much. God bless Julius Berger. May you continue to go higher.” The initiative underscores Julius Berger’s commitment to social impact beyond construction, reinforcing its role in driving economic empowerment in the FCT.
