Pecohub Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has graduated its first batch of trainees from ist Vocational Training Programme.
In a statement, the company said the graduation of 36 trainees across key technical disciplines, including carpentry, masonry, and plumbing underscores the Company’s continued commitment to skills development, youth empowerment, and sustainable capacity building within its host communities.
Delivering his address at the ceremony, the Director, Administration, Dr. Abdulaziz Isa Kaita, described the occasion as more than a graduation ceremony, but a celebration of purpose and measurable impact.
He emphasised that Corporate Social Responsibility must be measurable, sustainable, and impactful, noting that the Vocational Support Programme clearly meets these standards.
Kaita stated that the graduation of Batch 2025 trainees does not mark the end of their journey, but the beginning explaining that the company’s vision is to scale the initiative sustainably, ensuring that more Nigerian youths acquire certified technical skills that contribute meaningfully to the economy.
Highlighting the broader economic value of vocational excellence, he noted that skilled artisans reduce dependence on imports, improve construction quality, enhance productivity, and create micro-enterprises, adding that this is how grassroots economic transformation begins.
Addressing the graduates directly, he charged them to step forward with confidence, build with excellence, work with integrity, and grow with discipline even as he expressed his hope that the training received would serve as a solid foundation upon which the graduands would construct prosperous futures for themselves, their families, and the nation, affirming that their future begins now.
Also speaking at the ceremony, the Head, Human Resource Department, Olorunfemi Ojomo also commended the graduands for their dedication and reaffirmed Julius Berger’s strategic focus on investing in human capital as a critical driver of national development and organisational excellence, just as he emphasised the importance of vocational expertise in strengthening Nigeria’s construction sector.
He also noted that beyond infrastructure delivery, Julius Berger remains intentional about creating meaningful opportunities that empower individuals and uplift communities.
