Rivers Schools Benefit From Julius Berger’s CSR Initiatives

Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has intensified its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, leaving indelible marks of joy, inspiration, and empowerment on benefitting communities and schools in Rivers State.

The latest beneficiary is Community Primary School, Ogbunabali, Port Harcourt, which the company sponsored for its annual inter-house sports competition.

During the competition, the firm presented gleaming trophies to the top three winners and ensured the event’s success by providing canopies and other essential support.

In his address at the event, the company’s community liaison officer, Honourable Chike, urged the young athletes to cultivate focus and discipline from a young age, reminding them that Julius Berger is deeply interested in their academic growth, physical well-being, and the nurturing of their talents.

A few weeks earlier, the company opened its doors to senior secondary students from Bloombreed Schools, Port Harcourt, who were on an excursion at its regional office on the Eastern Bypass, in the Rivers State capital.

The excursion began with a safety induction led by Regional HSE/CSR manager Tim Oseghe, followed by technical sessions designed to broaden students’ horizons and guide future career choices.

The highlight was a hands-on facility tour, during which experts, including Laboratory Supervisor Kelly Ngbor, Civil Engineer Elorah Adebola, Maintenance Supervisor Abdul Samuel, HSE Supervisor Mike Fanisi, and HSE Officer Chima Nwaudah, showcased the company’s cutting-edge operations.

Earlier in February, Julius Berger had also sponsored joint interhouse sports competitions for several schools in the region.

At one of these events, Gabriel Ubani, Secretary of the State Universal Basic Education Board, encouraged students to balance academic excellence with sporting talent, underscoring the opportunities that await well‑rounded individuals.

Similarly, at Model Primary School, Nkpogwu, Port Harcourt, company representatives emphasised the importance of holistic child development, academic, and physical, while urging students to embrace healthy, positive life choices.

According to Oseghe, these initiatives are not mere gestures but deliberate investments in shaping the next generation. Our objective is to promote the total well-being of students, helping them grow into complete individuals equipped to face life’s challenges, he reiterated.
