Gitto Group History 7
The origins of the Gitto Group date back to 1957 when, as a small
private Enterprise founded by Carmelo Gitto, a new wave of op-
portunity brought investment and expansion to the construction in-
dustry. Throughout 1960 to 1980 the Company completed several
important projects of architectonic prestige and earned recognition
and a place amongst the most reputable companies in Italy.
From 1990 to date, through the guidance of the Gitto Brothers,
Salvatore and Domenico, the Group has handled large infrastruc-
ture development projects in both Italy and abroad. One of the
most important was the realization of the Messina-Palermo Hi-
ghway in Sicily; an impressive stretch of motorway with viaducts
and state-of-the-art tunnels.
It was while the projects in Italy were on-going that Engr.
Domenico Gitto, a natural leader and charismatic businessman,
started turning his attention to new opportunities abroad. The first
large contract came quickly with Israel and Jordan and in 2002
following that initial breakthrough, the Company was awarded a
succession of important contracts in West Africa and in particular
Nigeria. With the business in expansion the Company was ear-
marked to quickly become an important international Group and
today it is proudly one of the cornerstone companies contributing
to the advancement of Nigeria’s infrastructure and development.
Special appreciation must be given to Domenico Gitto for the le-
gacy that he left behind following his tragic and premature death
in 2012. He was only 52 years old. A man of principle with great
vision and courage, he will always be proudly remembered as ha-
ving led the Gitto Group into this era and to making it into one of
Nigeria’s most important Contractors.
The Gitto Group is now led by Salvatore Gitto.
For 50 years the Gitto Group has played a major role in the con-
struction industry in Italy and over the last 20 years also interna-
tionally. The diverse and broad range of executed works and the
Group’s technical and administrative skills consolidated over the
years in every area of civil engineering assure that each project is
carried out successfully from the planning stage to final implemen-
tation. With an extensive pool of experience and professionalism
the Group and its partners and subsidiaries confidently satisfy the
highest standards and meet the most stringent demands of today’s
complex and competitive markets.

a reliable, multifaceted organization that consistently delivers quality and value for money to both the Italian and International markets
The Gitto Group is a reliable, multifaceted organization that con-
sistently delivers quality and value for money to both the Italian
and International markets for even the most complex assignments.
Thanks to a business plan founded on consistency and adaptation,
the synergy between traditional experience and technical inno-
vation has permitted the Group to grow steadily over time and
to perform successfully. Each project is a demonstration of the
professionalism that is synonymous with the Company name and
ensures it can continue to look towards the future with optimism.
Today the Group covers every aspect of engineering from civil,
hydraulics, transport, electrical, environmental, regional land de-
velopment to infrastructures, including roads and motorways, ai-
rports, bridges, viaducts and tunnels, civil and industrial building
complexes.
Roads and Transports
One of the Group’s principal areas of operation is the transporta-
tion sector which also accounts for the majority of its turnover. The
most important contracts carried out in this field are the primary
road networks in West Africa, the major motorway networks in
Italy and the Messina-Palermo motorway in Sicily. The planning
and building of large infrastructure projects in particular within
the Nigerian road sector, places the Group and its achievements
amongst the industry’s leading companies. Air and sea transport
have also developed considerably in recent years and the Group
can be proud of its substantial contribution with its iconic works
for the new International Airport in Akwa Ibom State and equally
important Itigidi bridge and road project. Both realized to promote
and accommodate the movement of commercial goods and facilitate
inter-community connections to and from their respective areas.
Civil and Industrial Engineering
Civil and industrial construction has also played a large part in
the more recent operations of the Gitto Group. It is important to
highlight the Group’s continued interest in property and urban de-
velopments in which its own technical staff work hand-in-hand
with the client’s engineers. The construction and restoration of the
Ecumenical Church in the Federal Capital of Abuja is a site of par-
ticular social and spiritual, as well as technical, significance; the
work consisted in the use of extremely advanced technical proce-
dures and skills. Other important projects include the realization of
Uyo’s 20th Anniversary Hospital and the new branch of the Cen-
tral Bank of Nigeria and the Tower Hotel & Conference Centre in
the States of Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa respectively.
