Published by

The Federal Government, on Monday, tasked engineers particularly in the building sector on standard practices and proactiveness in the course of discharging their duties.

It made the call in the wake of the recent spate of building collapses in the country.

The Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, made the call when the Deputy President/ President-elect of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, Gidari-Wudil, paid him a visit in his office in Abuja.

He said although the FG was making lots of investment in the area of infrastructure, Engineers are critical stakeholders in the sector.

According to him, the huge investment in the area of infrastructure was commendable even as he advised that the incoming President ensures the application of professionalism through proper procedures, specifications and synergise with Government to curb further calamities occasioned by infrastructural defects.

In his response, President-elect of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, Gidari-Wudil, assured that the Society will work closely with the Council for the regulation of engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and other bodies to ensure the application of professionalism due to the strategic nature of the Engineering profession.
