10 March 2026

Engineering construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC celebrated International Women's Day 2026 with outreach activities in Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt schools.

In Abuja, two schools benefited from the outreach programme, which included bags containing educational materials, as well as other items shared with students of Government Secondary School, Life Camp, Gwarinpa, and Government Secondary School, Garki.

The visits formed part of the company's broader initiative to promote gender inclusion and youth empowerment through direct engagement with young girls who represent the next generation of professionals and leaders in Nigeria.

Speaking, the Contract Manager Julius Berger, Omonigho Brown, delivered a motivational talk titled "Your Voice, Your Relevance, and Your Future," where she encouraged the students to recognise their leadership potential early in life, reminding them that leadership often begins with small responsibilities such as serving as class prefects, head girls, or older siblings within their families.

Speaking at the Lagos outreach, Civil Engineer, Technical Officer Julius Berger Nigeria PLC, Rasheedat Anifowoshe, encouraged the students to remain focused and confident in their ambitions, especially in fields traditionally perceived as male dominated.
