Julius Berger Is For The Professionally Disciplined – Bayi

Any person who seeks to be an emergency or overnight “big man” without credible effort or industry has no place in the Julius Berger work environment, the Executive Director, Administration of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, JBN; Alhaji Zubairu Ibrahim Bayi, has said.

Bayi, Fellow and the Deputy Chairman of the College of Fellows of the Nigerian Institute of Building and certified member of the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON), made the assertion at his 60th birthday celebration organised by the company’s management at its corporate head office in Abuja, recently.

He also celebrated the fine technical and administrative qualities of the MD and a host of other great colleagues whose work and sense of comradeship made his work and rise to his present position of high responsibilities possible.

According to him, it was with a deep sense of honour that he was privileged to address the distinguished gathering at his 60th birthday party, adding that he was truly proud to belong to the distinguished Julius Berger work family.

Bayi said that over the years of working together for the advancement of Julius Berger, the MD, Engr. Goetsch and himself, have developed a harmonious and trusting relationship beyond the official call of duty.

The ED said his Julius Berger journey has been a great and interesting odyssey characterised by “grit and grime as well as thrills and frills”.

According to him, “I have run the straight lines, the curved turns, the downhill and the uphill flights. But in all, the great news is that it has been a great sojourn; an experiential odyssey of a fulfilling career and true friendships built not only across the Nigerian nation, but indeed across the Atlantic….”

Speaking at the event, JBN’s Managing Director, Engr. Wolfgang Goetsch, in his remarks extolled the virtues of hard work, noting that Alhaji Bayi has worked in every section of the company’s operations and has garnered worthy and helpful experience to the benefit of the organisation.

Goetsch in thanking Bayi for his faithfulness to the Julius Berger Brand, noted how the executive director’s professional industry had since earned him the Fellowship of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB) as well as of the strategic Institute of Management Consultants (IMC), amongst other worthy achievements.

The MD particularly highlighted Bayi’s humble and helpful disposition despite his vast and worthy experience and productive capabilities, stressing that having loyally spent 35 years of his active professional life with the company, Alhaji Bayi’s proven administrative reliability is not only reflective, but indeed definitive of the increasingly matchless quality and dependable capabilities of the iconic Julius Berger brand.
