I wonder why it's so hard to follow standards and procedures in this country. What exactly is the problem with Nigerians?

Benekruku:



So COREN still exist?

They should start from the counterfeit suspension bridge in Anambra then I will believe they have standards and ethics.


That architectural flaw standing in Anambra needs to be demolished. It's a shame to COREN to have allowed such junk, counterfeit and flawed design, to be erected.

COREN don dey find small thing for pocket

AmericanQuarter:



Are you intimidated by the beautiful suspension or what? The one in Awka is a structurally standard flyover/bridge and has been in use for the past 2yrs. COREN has certified Uyo and Awka flyovers. Let Imo state open their doors to COREN to do the right thing for once.

Deseo:
If you're in Owerri, avoid that bridge until COREN says otherwise.

Benekruku:

Re u kidding me to have called that a suspension bridge?
Those steels you see above the bridge re decorations that could all fall when rusted and still will not have any impact on the bridge rather than killing innocent motorist and pedestrians.

Poverty and lack of oversight.

Not one government agency has stepped foot on my site in 2 years of construction.

eph123:


I think it also comes down to lack of value for human lives.

Wow! So how have you been able to ensure it's up to the required standards, in terms of materials used etc..

EgunMogaji:


Personal previous experience and having checks done by different professionals.

During these period there have been at least 3 total buildings under construction that collapsed in my area.

Do you know COREN stand for? They regulate engineering practice in Nigeria. What is wrong in what they have done?

johnreh:
The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) has raised concern over the integrity of an intersection bridge otherwise called flyover being constructed by the administration of Governor Rochas Okorocha at Amawire, Akwakuma in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Briefing newsmen on the outcome of the council’s first quarterly meeting for 2017, President and Chairman of the council, Mr. Kashim Ali disclosed that a letter had been written to the governor requesting him to provide details of the consultants and contractors handling the project so that they can furnish the body with some necessary information.



Ali warned that the council would not hesitate to invite the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), to storm the project site and arrest anybody seen there, if the government failed to comply.

“We got a disturbing report from Imo State on a bridge on Amawire, Okigwe Road and Akwakuma flyover. Our Engineering regulatory monitoring team noticed defects; they requested from the government the details of the consultants and contractors involved especially the engineers so we can know what went wrong.”

“The state government has not given us that information; we have written to the governor for them to give us the details urgently; to know the engineers involved to prevent what will cost lives. If they don’t do that, we have no option but to report the matter under our Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) conditions to ICPC and they would find whoever it is and get information they need.”

The council also deliberated on the report of alleged professional misconduct against a Professor of Agriculture and Environmental Engineering, from the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Simon Irtwange and referred the case to an investigating panel to determine whether the actions constituted ethical misconduct.

COREN President said the professor would be tried by the tribunal if any case was established against him

He is talking from experience. 90%of regulators are only concerned with shakedowns. That drives the response of the audited.
