Yet he declines assent to the most important bills! Yeye dey smell

This is more important than any other bill you are referring to. No nation can develop without given proper priority to engineering and technology

MaiGemu d dancer celebrating the dancing senator's victory on a wkend.
Dance man! I think APC totally lost in that election, sentiments apart

RTSC:
We already have the Nigerian content law.

It was very effective during Jonathan, but I don't know what has happened now.

Its quite disheartening to see unskilled foreigners come here and learn on the job and from us and then they make them top boss just because they are foreigners....on top job wey we sabi pass them ooo. i just hope they will take this issue serious.

80% of engineers with 2.1 nd above end up in banks

That's true.
Funny thing is that the ones with 2:2 are the ones who mostly venture into engineering proper

It is a mediocre news to you not to Nigeria engineers or Engineering student .

This is the most sensible bill I have seen in Nigeria if duly enforced .

why?

Amuocha:
Seen...so that his patronship would continue. Nonsense law

how is this Nonsense law....??

dont mind them....their hate for buhari has completly blinded them....

they rather play second fidle to foreighners than say anything good about buhari....

RTSC:
They wanted to try that shitt with me in katsina.
Sending me to a bank.

I rejected it and was finally posted to a university as an assistant lecturer.

You can not be an assistant lecturer in a university with first degree. You probably mean Graduate Assistant. Good you stood your ground.

incase you south easterners dont get it....this law garanties that technologies must be taught to nigerians for forieghners to even start anything in nigeria....

Yes.
Graduate assistant, sorry.

Though my boss used to call me his assistant lecturer.

Fact! So many Engineers turned accountant's

A good law for us

hakeem4:
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

I got this, I can be an Engineering Practitioner, yet not an engineer.

Buhari is working.

@14i ope ooo engineering is life

This is irrelevant to young teeming engineers.... Create an engineering school and increase pay for graduate engineers... Do you know ho much Doctors earn during housemanship? Which some engineers earn 5k per month....

Either you didn't read the article at all or you don't understand technical information. This is one of the best news I've ever read on NL.

Quite sad most people here don't feel same. It just shows we still have a long way to go.

What exactly does COREN do for Engineers especially Young/Fresh Engineers apart from charging them exorbitant fees for affiliation and conferences?

I think the Government need to focus on the Fresh Brains in our tertiary institutions first by:

1. a complete overhaul of all the archaic delivery methods/modules of the science and engineering courses,
2. fortify the labs with state-of-the-art technology/infrastructure to enhance valuable practical experiences
3. introduce a law that will mandate all engineering organizations accept students as interns,
4. ensure that NYSC PPAs are science and engineering inclined organizations.This could also include ensuring that those posted to the North are given Polytechnics & Universities as PPAs to teach science and engineering subjects.
5. Encourage Entrepreneurship in the Engineering Sector as well.
6. THEY SHOULD START ARRESTING THOSE MARKETERS, BANKERS AND LAWYERS DOING ENGINEERING JOBS.This is becoming really prevalent.

To me, These are the basics. I am speaking from the experience from what I can see around here.
