Speaking at the event, managing director, chief executive officer of Dorman Long Engineering, Chris Ijeli said: “We are incredibly proud to celebrate 75 years of service to Nigeria. This milestone is a proof of Dorman Long’s dedication as well as the hard work of our employees, partners, and stakeholders,”
