Julius Berger: We’re taking right steps to enhance our presence in Africa

Julius Berger Nigeria Plc says it is reinforcing its regional expansion strategy, aiming to solidify its presence across West Africa’s construction sector.

Speaking at the Choiseul Africa Summit in Cotonou, Benin Republic, Julius Berger Director of Corporate Development, Jochen Stolle, expressed confidence in the company’s growing footprint in the region.

“I see Julius Berger as one of the big players coming out of this region in the future,” Stolle said.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines, Stolle underscored the importance of Julius Berger’s presence at the summit.

He said: “The sponsorship for Julius Berger is very important. We attended this conference last year, and now it is coming to Benin Republic.

“It is a story that we have to pick up. Let us interact with other agencies, let us interact with other government bodies in all the West African countries that are in the focus of Julius Berger. Let us do the first step here, introduce us to the people, and develop anything that is coming out of it.”

He highlighted the advantages of doing business in Francophone West Africa, emphasising economic stability and shared currency benefits.

“I think the Francophone region of Africa has the greatest advantage; they have the common currency; they have a stable currency. This will also give Julius Berger the trust and the face is good development in this region,” Stolle added.

Also speaking, the President of Choiseul Africa, Pascal Lorot, underscored Benin’s rising profile in the region, stating: “Benin today embodies an ambitious Africa that is firmly focused on the future.

“With its stability, modern infrastructure, and strategic positioning, it stands out as a market of opportunities and expertise, as well as a key hub for regional economic exchanges.

“Hosting the Choiseul Africa Summit in Cotonou is a recognition of Benin’s central role in driving growth and fostering cooperation in West Africa.”
