Construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, has held its annual Cultural Day celebration across its corporate offices, regional headquarters, and project sites nationwide.
The event highlighted the company’s commitment to promoting Nigeria’s rich cultural diversity as a vital tool for fostering unity, peaceful coexistence, and socio-economic development.
This year’s Cultural Day was marked by colourful displays of tradition, as staff turned out in vibrant attire representing Nigeria’s diverse ethnic groups. The celebration featured traditional music, dance performances, cultural exhibitions, and a showcase of indigenous cuisines, all reflecting the depth and richness of Nigeria’s heritage.
In Abuja, the Head of Human Resources, Olorunfemi Ojomo, welcomed everyone and spoke about the importance of unity in diversity. He said that the company values the strength found in different cultures and will continue to promote it. Ojomo said, ‘I can see some beautiful dresses this evening. I’m really impressed. Thank you very much for the effort. Definitely it is going to be a beautiful outing. Like I always say every year in year out, it’s one of those moments where we get to celebrate our diversity. Yes, it’s a period for some fun.
‘However, the most important thing here is we try as much to recognise that we’re from different parts of the world, different parts of the country because we are as a company and that’s our strength. It’s very important to appreciate ourselves and so little things like this do matter a lot.’
