“At Julius Berger, we believe very strongly that a healthy population means a functional and productive society, and by a multiplier effect, a progressive economy for the nation.
“The company’s anti-malaria CSR campaign and donation of mosquito nets to the vulnerable is an empirical expression of our company’s proactive policy to keep the Nigerian people safe from the deadly malaria scourge which statistics show is still the biggest public health challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa,” Duku added.
The Assistant Head Teacher of the school, Mrs Vicky Maikai, thanked Julius Berger for the donation.
“It gives me joy to see so much excitement on the faces of our children. We are extremely happy today. Julius Berger would not understand what this show of love means to the school. Malaria has been one of our greatest problems, and I am so excited that the company decided to help us fight it by providing the pupils with the treated mosquito nets.
“On behalf of the management, parents and pupils of the school, I say a big thank you to Julius Berger, and I pray that God continues to bless and expand the company in Jesus name,” she said.
It would be recalled that the 2021 Julius Berger anti-malaria CSR campaign, which is a corporate policy support in commemoration of the globally observed World Malaria Day, had been extended to communities in the company’s operational areas in the Abuja-Kano Road corridor, Lagos as well as other sites.
