Petroleum engineers still dey...

@bolded, government go still complain

Stevewonder004:
Things that Atiku would never have done because he will be after what goes in and out of NNPC, thnk God dat dat man never win

eyinjuege:
That's right
.those who trained as teachers should be posted to schools. states that dont have regilar teachers who rely on corpers should go and employ more teachers

midnighter:


Is a petroleum engineer not a specialised chemical engineer? is it not down to the courses you took during university and the project you defended? so how would the government complain? im getting confused lol

DanDeeBoss:
Hmmm I think so though I have two friends who read petroleum engineering from Year 1...

.Maybe you're not asking yourself why some companies keep rejecting them......

midnighter:


Yes and they have that school at Effurun (spelling). maybe because we produce oil. because ordinarily a chemical engineer can work with a range of industrial materials

thats another thing. they dont want to pay them? Or because they dont want outsiders looking in on their shady practices when they are signing dodgy contracts? lol

but its like asking why banks stopped taking corpers. Why if i had the chance i would i have gone to a bank. At least let me enjoy AC small

Or they'll say the place Is filled up...

I haven't really thought about this "Do banks take in Corpers"??

Hello, did you sketch that image on the paper?? If yes pm me i've got smth for u

midnighter:


anyway i think its a wider question about the role of corpers in this country. Somebody shows up to your establishment ready to work for free or very little and you'll be doing your face

banks used to take corpers, and if you did well they would retain you. but they stopped. i would like to know why because my suffering could have been abated

mtchew!

I think it's lack of available facilities in the office for that extra hand.....or training that would take months only for the service year to end a little after training without skills being utilized in their business

Mandates foreign engineering firms to register with COREN

By Omololu Ogunmade in Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja assented to Engineers (Registration etc) Amendment Bill, 2019, which among others, bars the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) from henceforth, posting graduates of engineering to secondary schools to teach.


The bill which has now become the Act of the National Assembly seeks to promote technological development in Nigeria by ensuring that trained engineers are well positioned to deploy the knowledge acquired in their various fields to the development of technology in the country.

Briefing journalists in the State House, Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Ita Enang, said as against the tradition of posting a large number of engineering graduates to schools by NYSC, youth corps members who are graduates of engineering must henceforth be posted only to engineering firms and other institutions that are relevant to their professional fields.

Aside prohibiting such firms from rejecting engineering graduates posted to them, the Act mandates NYSC to immediately communicate the name of any institution where an engineering graduate is posted to, for his/her primary assignment, to the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

Enang cited Section 14 (i and ii) of the Act which provides that “The Directorate of the National Youth Service Corps shall ensure posting of graduate engineers and technologists to places of relevant professional engineering experience.

“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.’’

Furthermore, the Act prohibits any foreign engineering firm from operating in Nigeria without being duly registered in the country by COREN.

It also mandates such a foreign firm to ensure the introduction of local content into the operations of the company by employing Nigerian engineers.


Enang added: “The Act broaden engineering ‘practitioners to include a registered engineer, engineering technologist, engineering technician and engineering craftsman.’ It emphasises more on engineering practitioners as against ‘engineer.’

“The Act has been remitted in accordance with standard legal procedures. The principal Act establishes the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria – COREN’ with power vested.

“The amendment now assented to by Mr. President broadens 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, 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; 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; ensuring that all foreign engineering firms establish their design offices in Nigeria.”

Enang also said the new Act grants “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; 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; investigating engineering failures.’’


He further disclosed that the Act further authorises the admission of some engineering associations into COREN as the umbrella body of all engineers in the country.

Such associations as listed by Enang are: Nigerian Association of Technologists in Engineering, Nigerian Society of Engineering Technicians, and Nigerian Association of Engineering Craftsmen.

According to him, the Act further authorises one person to represent in COREN, the Association for Consulting Engineering in Nigeria, Federation of Construction Industry in Nigeria, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, and Armed Forces in rotation.

“The Council 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,” Enang added.

Good move. Journalist should work in a news outlet. Doctors, a hospital. Lawyers, court, Engineers, a firm or companies. The rest should find themselves in school

heskeyw:
Truth is that NYSC doesn't post these corpers directly to schools. They are initially posted to a firm , who will reject them and send them bk to NYSC, who in turn will have no option than to repost them to schools. Wetn dey baffle me be say : why will a firm reject corpers? You don't pay them, u don't give them accommodation, u don't feed them, they r just there to work for you, yet u reject them. I tire. When I was posted to a school in plateau state, the principal told us that he requested for 30 corpers ( since it doesn't cost him anything). No pay, no accommodation, no feeding.

ok i understand.

they should have let me in, even if its just to sweep and mop the floor. what a year it was
