Julius Berger’s subsidiary, PrimeTech Design and Engineering Nigeria Limited, last weekend in Abuja had a ceremony to honour its long-serving staff. The ceremony, which was dual in nature, coincided with the commissioning of Primetech’s newly completed office extension building at its state-of-the-art business complex in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

The Chairman of Primetech and Board member of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Hon. Engr. Jafaru Damulak was on hand to kick off events at the ceremony. Engr. Damulak proudly traced the history of Primetech and commended its management for having committedly, productively grown the company’s business from merely being a service unit to Julius Berger’s needs to its current status of providing high value and reliable service to networth third party clients. The Primetech Chairman enjoined the management and staff of Primetech to be positive and remain committed to the future growth of the company’s business. Mr Christian Hausemann, the Financial Director of Primetech’s parent company, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, represented Julius Berger’s executive management and led a delegation from head office to the well-attended event, which held at the iconic Primetech business complex located at Idu Industrial Area FCT Abuja.

On his part, the General Manager of PrimeTech, Christian Mössmer, thanked the long-serving personnel of the company for their productive loyalty and faithful commitment to the founding vision of Primetech. He took an excursion into PrimeTech’s historical evolvement over the years as the design and engineering subsidiary of the leading quality and reliable Julius Berger brand. He spoke about the challenges the company had to deal with, but more proudly of how PrimeTech over the years overcame those challenges to currently emerge as Nigeria’s preferred and most dependable design and engineering business partner. PrimeTech, said Christian Mössmer, started out with a “…vision is to be the design and engineering partner of choice in Nigeria by securing clients’ success through excellence and value”. To give real time effect to its bold vision, Christian Mössmer said, “PrimeTech provides reliable, innovative and efficient solutions for the construction of buildings, industries, civil structures, roads and infrastructure”, adding that “…as part of the Julius Berger Group’s value chain, PrimeTech’s values reflect a high emphasis on the delivery of superior quality services to the full satisfaction of clients.”

Powered by a workforce of architects, engineers, technical specialists and support staff, PrimeTech provides a wide range of services to clients in both the private and public sectors. Furthermore, PrimeTech has in-depth knowhow regarding specialized requirements of the oil and gas sector and works in compliance with the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act. In addition to technical consultancy, PrimeTech has the capacity to prepare procurement documents, material specifications and approvals according to the required standards. PrimeTech says its works shows in fact that the company has evolved into a country leader in these endeavours.

With an eye for detail and precision,PrimeTech’s holistic approach to client servicing underlies the company’s delivery of well thought-out and meticulously planned design and engineering solutions. Thorough work preparation and scheduling underpin highly structured and planned processes. The company firmly believes that the delivery of consistent quality is the primary driver of value for clients. PrimeTech’s Quality Management System conforms to its International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification as well as domestic standards.

Mössmer states that as a committed partner to client satisfaction, PrimeTech places the utmost value on professional and collaborative cooperation. The company, he said, prioritizes long-term business relationships built on trust and transparency. Focus is placed on setting mutually agreed and realistic goals that reflect the parameters set for any given project.

PrimeTech, Mössmer emphasized, also prioritizes the long-term environmental, economic and social viability of its services. The company is a leader in raising the standard for sustainable management practices in Nigeria and continues to spearhead the implementation of cutting-edge technologies and operational procedures. Mössmer also said PrimeTech is a strong driver of innovation in its business. In that regard, PrimeTech, he said, “…aims not only to creatively develop solutions that capture clients’ visions, but also to continuously upgrade its technical capacities and support facilities in order to expand its expertise and ability to deliver innovative design and engineering.”

On staff training and development, the PrimeTech GM said that “…to ensure that suitable advanced methods and techniques are applied, the company’s highly qualified staff is kept abreast of the latest domestic and global market developments with related and relevant global best practice training and professional exposure”. Mössmer said for the year 2022, 26 different staff training courses have been offered including oversea training and on-site trainings on JBN projects with 170 participations recorded totalling 5,314 hours spent on various staff training investment till date. The General Manager also proudly informed guests at the ceremony that PrimeTech promoted 18 deserving staff in 2022.

On the important factor of technical aptitude, the General Manager said that because PrimeTech is parentally rooted in and fully aligned with Julius Berger’s historically established culture of standout excellence, “…PrimeTech taps into its diverse international resources to gain special expert knowledge on developing trends and latest technologies.” PrimeTech, he said, is a pioneer in the area of sustainable design and engineering in Nigeria and maintains robust knowledge regarding the latest green building technology. Examples include the company’s head office, which is designed and built according to the “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” (LEED) requirements.

Christian Mössmer concluded his remarks by saying that, heavily invested in Nigeria, PrimeTech’s strength remains the company’s motivated and highly skilled staff, ranging from young graduates to experienced professionals, amongst whom were the celebrated long service awardees at the event who have both substantive and diversely experiential knowledge in their fields of expertise. The majority of PrimeTech’s staff, he said, are professionally accredited engineers and architects registered with their relevant Nigerian regulatory bodies, including the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) and the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA).

HON. EDWARD PWAJOK, SAN, LB, KSG ADVISED THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE AND GET THE BUY IN OF THE PEOPLE BEFORE CONCLUDING THE MOU ON THE JOS MAIN MARKET


We have a House of Assembly. I have not heard from them , whether as a House or the views of individual members. They have the power of oversight over the Executive arm of Government and as our representatives, they have the right to speak out and the Constitution protects them .
 Were other Stakeholders carried along before drafting the MOU? The MOU mentioned interests of communities, were the communities identified and informed about the MOU and if so , which communities?
Was due diligence done before preparing the MOU? There is need for transparency and due diligence will help in that regard. Who is the contractor to carry out the construction. Who are the owners of the construction company and their shares. How did the company secure the  project ?
How did the state Govt itself become ‘the beneficial owner’ of the land? What is the root of title of the land? How did the Govt acquire the Land, are there no encumbrances on the land, were there no agreements entered into on the Market by the state Govt from Governor Dariye’s time and subsequent Governments and have the encumbrances ( if any) been cleared?
How did the parties arrive at the N9 billion + valuation figure? There may be need for an independent, expert valuation to confirm the figure contained in the MOU.
What is the fate of the Kabong market where Govt sank huge funds, in fact, borrowed funds to construct? Is it true that Govt ( with all its powers) cannot move traders to that market? 
In the light of present reality , is the Market even advisable in the present location and in the manner envisaged by the MOU? What does the Govt intend to do with the neighboring property ie the Hospital . 
What is the legality of the MOU given that ‘market’ is reserved for Local Governments by the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution?
These questions are not exhaustive but a public interaction where these and other critical questions can be answered needs to be organized. 
In view of the public interest and anxiety, I advise that the Government should listen to the people and get the buy in of the people before concluding the MOU. AThere is no reason in my view that is so compelling or urgent to make the Govt to rush the MOU when citizens are raising critical questions.
