He said the company's reputation was underpinned by its combination of established engineering principles, modern methodologies and innovative solutions in building, infrastructure and industrial projects.

Badejo-Okusanya noted that the company's extensive resources, technical expertise and years of experience had enabled it to execute complex construction projects, including those in remote locations and under challenging environmental conditions and tight schedules.

He added that Julius Berger's involvement across the various stages of project delivery, from planning and procurement to design, engineering, construction, maintenance and operation, had contributed to its role in delivering some of Nigeria's significant infrastructure projects, industrial facilities and buildings.
