Lab Technician (Cassava Processing Factory) at Adkan Services Nigeria Limited

Adkan Service Nigeria Limited is a wholly indigenous construction company with a bias of undertaking construction projects essentially within the country. The reason for this nationalistic and patriotic bent is to join hands with others of like minds in other specialised fields in making Nigeria not only the pride of other nations but a reference point in Architectural designs and brilliantly executed construction projects. In furtherance of this mission statement, it is worth stating that all our completed projects can stand the test of time and can also compete favourably with similar projects elsewhere in the world.
