The shut down of Julius Berger’s operations is coming just days after the popular Jabi Lake Mall did in response to the alert on public places in the nation’s capital city.
In a statement by the company’s Managing Director and Corporate Security Manager Engr. Lars Bichter and Poul Nielsen respectively, the company advised its staff to avoid public premises during the weekend.
The statement read:
“In response to the ongoing security concern within the FCT and Central Abuja.
“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.”
