President Muhammadu Buhari has assented to the Engineers (Registration etc) Amendment Act, 2019. The principal Act establishes the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria – COREN’ with power vested. According to the Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly matters (Senate), Ita Enang, the new amendment has broadened the powers of COREN with far-reaching powers of prosecution of infractions, regulating industrial training of Engineers, capacity building of local content in Nigeria engineering industry. Specifically, he said, the new law grants COREN powers of: “prosecuting any person or firm that contravenes the provisions of this Act in a court of competent jurisdiction; .regulating industrial training schemes in engineering practitioners and students; (I)..ensuring capacity building and monitoring local content development in the Nigerian engineering industry through – mandatory attachment of Nigerians to expatriate engineers on major projects to understudy them from inception “(ii) ensuring that all foreign engineering firms establish their design offices in Nigeria. (iii) granting of compulsory attestation to all expatriate quota for engineering practitioners, including turnkey project, that there are no qualified and competent Nigerians for the job in question at the time of application and that granting of the expatriate quota shall be contingent on training of such number of persons as may be required for the execution of the job, and; “(iv) ensuring that, before being allowed to practice in Nigeria, such foreign engineering practitioners granted work permit, register with the council and obtain such licenses as may be required from time to time; (h) investigating engineering failures.’’ He said that the new Act further admits into the Council (COREN) the following: “Nigerian Association of Technologists in Engineering Nigerian Society of Engineering Technicians, and Nigerian Association of Engineering Craftsmen, and One person each appointed to represent the – Association for Consulting Engineering in Nigeria, Federation of Construction Industry in Nigeria Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, and Armed Forces in rotation.’’ The Council, he said, is now entitled to maintain a fund into which shall be paid money appropriated by the National Assembly, subventions, fees, charges for services rendered or publications made, donations, engineering development levy, among others. “On NYSC, the Amendment states: (14) (i)‘’The Directorate of the National Youth Service Corps shall ensure posting of graduate engineers and technologists to places of relevant professional engineering experience. (ii) Pursuant to the provision of subsection (i), the Directorate of National Youth Service Corps shall communicate the location of graduate engineers and engineering technologists to the Council.’’ The Act broaden engineering ‘’practitioners to include a registered Engineer, Engineering technologist, Engineering technician and Engineering craftsman. It emphasis more on engineering practitioners as against ‘engineer.’ “The Act has been remitted in accordance with standard legal procedures.” Enang stated http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-signs-engineers-amendment-act-into-law/?fbclid=IwAR0pbUz-zItuZGD_bVnF8cP7459fgCfHR1kqmWFjZCTZ0riAiAOwQ3AWjZ8 36 Likes 5 Shares

I saw that part on NYSC. “On NYSC, the Amendment states: (14) (i)‘’The Directorate of the National Youth Service Corps shall ensure posting of graduate engineers and technologists to places of relevant professional engineering experience. (ii) Pursuant to the provision of subsection (i), the Directorate of National Youth Service Corps shall communicate the location of graduate engineers and engineering technologists to the Council.’’ Can they just make this general? It's an abuse to keep posting untrained corps members as teachers. Maybe just then, corps members will not feel frustrated with the NYSC scheme if they can apply their education to relevant areas. 13 Likes |

one of the functions i was expecting of them is to monitor the inflow of expatriates for engineering jobs in Nigeria. Any job function that can be handled by the locals should not be given to expatriates. 16 Likes 1 Share |

This is such good news for once. Now Nigerian engineers can fully participate and learn from this so called 'expats'. My experience with working with the 'expats' is that they don't want to pass on what they know so they are not made redundant. 4 Likes |
