Acting in response to the terrorism attack alert on public places in the nation’s capital city, Julius Berger Nig. Ltd has decided to shut its operations in Abuja till further notice.
This is despite the federal government downplaying the threat, saying that the country is safe.
The United States and the United Kingdom (UK) governments had earlier asked their citizens against travelling to Abuja.
In a statement sighted by our Correspondent on Saturday, signed by Managing Director and Corporate Security Manager of Julius Berger, Engr. Lars Bichter and Poul Nielsen respectively, the company advised its staff members to avoid public premises during the weekend.
The statement stated: “In response to the ongoing security concern within the FCT.
“It is advised to avoid all public events within the FCT environment, including: Supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, bars, clubs and other areas where many meet.
“This advice is applicable from, 28.10.2022 in the evening until Monday, 31.10.2022 in the morning.
“It remains possible to move to other JBN work or residential locations throughout the weekend.
“Your safety is our primary concern.”
Julius Berger is the second company to take the decision after the popular Jabi Lake Mall acting in response to the terrorism attack alert on public places in the nation’s capital city decided to shut down operations till further notice despite the federal government safety assurances.
When contacted, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Josephine Adeh, said; “I don’t know anything about it.”
