CELEBRATIONS ACROSS corporate offices, regional headquarters, and project sites nationwide on Friday, October 3, 2025, reaffirmed Julius Berger Nigeria Plc’s commitment to Nigeria’s cultural heritage.
The annual Cultural Day, a long-standing company tradition, showcased the richness of the nation’s cultural diversity as a unifying force and a driver of peaceful coexistence and socio-economic progress.
The 2025 edition was marked by vibrant displays of ethnic identities, with employees appearing in colourful traditional attires representing the country’s many ethnic groups.
From Abuja to Lagos, Port Harcourt to other regional locations, the day was filled with traditional music, indigenous cuisines, dance performances, and exhibitions that reflected the country’s deep cultural roots.
In Abuja, the Head of Human Resources, Olorunfemi Ojomo, opened the event by commending employees for embracing the spirit of unity and diversity that the celebration represents.
He noted that Julius Berger’s workforce mirrors Nigeria’s multicultural society and that the company continues to draw strength from this diversity.
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 bit of having fun. However, most important thing here is we try as much to recognise that we’re from different part of the world, different part of the country because we are as a company and that’s our strength. It’s very, very important to appreciate ourselves.
“So little things like this do matters a lot. So, to each and every one of you, I say welcome. Please do have a fantastic time here this evening. Thank you very much.”
The event created a lively atmosphere across all regions, as staff infused creativity into their cultural representations.
In Lagos, employees highlighted the dynamism of Yoruba heritage with performances featuring traditional drumming, dancing, and local cuisine.
The Abuja office celebrated Northern culture through displays of Hausa-Fulani traditions, while Port Harcourt staff showcased the colourful essence of the Niger Delta, complete with attire, songs, and food reflective of the region’s identity.
From project sites in the East to the company’s corporate headquarters in the West, Julius Berger employees demonstrated shared enthusiasm for promoting inclusivity and unity through culture.
The participation of teams across different departments and sites reflected a collective commitment to building community spirit and fostering mutual respect within the workplace.
Julius Berger noted that the Cultural Day celebration has evolved into a defining company tradition.
Beyond the vibrant festivities, it serves as an internal reminder of the organisation’s corporate values, inclusivity, teamwork, and respect for diversity.
The event, according to the company, provides a platform for employees to express pride in their heritage while strengthening bonds across departments and project teams.
Over the years, Julius Berger has positioned its Cultural Day as more than a corporate social event. It has become a reflection of the company’s social philosophy that values human connection and national unity.
The management reaffirmed its belief that Nigeria’s cultural diversity is not only a social asset but also a strategic tool for development and peace.
The 2025 Cultural Day once again reinforced Julius Berger’s enduring message that culture remains central to national identity.
Also, the company stated that by continuously celebrating and preserving cultural expressions, it contributes to social harmony, strengthens community ties, and fosters sustainable development across the country.
