Ibadan NSE inducts new corporate members

THE Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Ibadan branch, has welcomed new corporate members into its fold.

Branch chairman, Dr. Wasiu Ajagbe, told the Nigerian Tribune shortly after the ceremony which held at the NSE’s secretariat in Ibadan on Monday that not less than 63 new corporate members were inducted, adding that they were inducted having fulfilled all requirements which includes both oral and written examinations.

Ajagbe, while admonishing the new members said:”They have to be good ambassadors of the profession and they must by all means represent us well. We want them to uphold that integrity. Inducting them as members means they have to live above board to continue to contribute to the development of humanity.”

He also implored the new members to freely relate with other members particularly the senior ones in order for them to tap from their wealth of experience.

However, speaking on the effect of COVID-19 on the engineering practice in the country, Ajagbe noted that:”Engineers by training are supposed to be very dynamic. Problems are what we are suppose to solve, so it is just that the pandemic is changing the norms.

“Despite this, life must go on, we just must rise to the occasion by solving the problems that may have arise as a result of the pandemic. I won’t say it is seriously a challenge, because, all that is needed to cushion the effect of COVID-19 are products of the engineering profession a development which makes the profession a very unique one.”
