This list is more credible. How can you compare Elalan with JB? Elalan is not even in the league of Cappa and D'alberto, ITB, COBEL and the likes.

Chinese guys nko



https://www.nairaland.com/2279702/lg-g2-32gb-black-plus

....currently work with one(cyprus owned) and its not listed there.they are okay a bit but those guys are extra smart with salary and stuffs...

OP there address in Abuja plz

Did you mention Costain West Africa Plc?
That company is no longer in reckoning. It has caused more pains to the society than gains.
I'm very certain about what am saying. What you see today as Costain is actually a carcass.
There is a desperate need for a total overhaul of the ownership otherwise, that company is moribund.

El-Alan is your number 1? Lol... thats the funniest list i've ever seen.

Come down to the proposed Eko Atlantic and see where construction companies are flexing muscles on landmark projects.

ITB, COBEL, CAPPA and D'alberto: those guys outmuscle Julius Berger when it comes to building construction. Julius Berger only has an edge when it comes to roads.

Ok now that u haf told me , how do I get job in one of these coys as a mechanical Engineer.

Thatts cool.........who fit connect me to one of these companies
I'm working in a civil engineering firm,but tired of my company......

OP you need to do a throu check b4 put something like this, where did you put Julius Berger? Arab, and ccecc at the moment there's no any bigger construction company lager than Jbn in terms of equipments, engineers and manpower

I wonder why Cappa and D'Alberto is not on that list

Ok

Why was SAIPEM missed out in the list?

yeah

PS put the address especially those in abuja so that I can apply for IT

construction salary in Nigeria is a ruse
