Construction giant, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has graduated the second batch of trainees from its plant and equipment academy in Abuja.

The event was 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 industrial advancement.

The head of Julius Berger’s plant and equipment department, which in conjunction with the human resource department coordinates the work of the Academy, Francois Roos, started the programme of events when he welcomed guests to the ceremony at the academy premises.

In a statement issued by the company yesterday in Abuja, the representative of the managing director at the event, the executive director of administration, Alhaji Zubairu Ibrahim Bayi, Fniob, offered the warm felicitation of the executive management to both the managers of the academy, the graduating students and invited guests.

Bayi said the academy was also conceptualised to empower selected artisans with productive technical skills for reliable industrial development and contribution to nation-building. This vision and goal, he said, is slowly but surely bearing fruit.

During the launch of the academy on 25th February last year, Bayi had told the guests that the academy was envisioned by the company to be “a leading institution in technical training, JBN’s funnel for dynamic, highly trained and resourceful technicians to fill the needs of the company and the industry in general.”

While the first set of graduands from the academy was trained in combustion engines and drive trains, the second batch was trained in basic electricity and automotive application. From the six trainees that graduated from the academy’s first set in 2022, the number of trainees that graduated from the Julius Berger Plant and Equipment Academy last Thursday has progressed to eight.

The “Best graduating Student” was awarded a special prize for his brilliant results while the graduands presented an electrical project designed and made by them at the ceremony.
