The National Youth Service Corps has
concluded plans to halt the posting of
engineers to secondary schools and
other places of primary assignment
different from Engineering
Institutions. The agreement was
reached by the Directorate of NYSC
and Council for the Regulation of
Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).
Speaking at the Pre-Inauguration
stakeholders’ workshop of the 30th
President of the Nigerian Society of
Engineers held yesterday in Abuja, the
President of COREN, Engineer Kashim
A. Ali, disclosed that the Council has
secured an agreement with the
Director General of NYSC to what he
referred to as prevention of wrong
training of Engineers. He also said
that the Director of Mobilization of
NYSC has also been notified of the
new development and they have
fashioned modalities for its success.
Ali said “Posting engineers during
their service year to places they will
not benefit is depriving them the
opportunity of training and by
implication the country is losing. The
DG of NYSC agreed with us and
directed the Director of Mobilization
to ensure that engineers are posted
to only engineering institutions.
“To help him, the Director of
Mobilization requested that we should
assist to give them the names of
engineering organizations in all the
states of the federation so that when
they are doing their posting they will
send them to such places.
