AS part of its strong commitment to its host communities across Nigeria, Julius Berger has donated a block of classrooms and Principal’s Office to Government Senior Day Secondary School, Dullu Tafa, Kagarko LGA in Kaduna State.
Addressing the management and staff of the school, the Team lead of Julius Berger CSR delegation to the event, Engr. Yusuf Ibrahim, explained that Julius Berger’s tradition is to continually reach out to its host communities through multi-pronged emergency and palliative interventions or its planned long-term community empowerment and development schemes. He said, “This project is part of the company’s little way of making impact in the lives of not just the students, but the community at large. It is our hope and wish that the structure will be put into use and the children will have a conducive learning environment.”
Principal of the school, Mrs. Angelina I.J. Kwasau, expressed happiness that the donation of the classroom blocks was the first of its kind in the history of the school. “It is very obvious from the kind of joy you see on the faces of people gathered here today.” She expressed regret that her students, due to the holiday break, were not present at Julius Berger’s donation of the beautiful and functional classroom blocks.
Dullu Tafa being a very peaceful community attracts significant number of students from neighbouring communities, yet we do not have adequate classroom blocks to accomodate more students”.
