NATE, COREN to Address Building Collapse

Kemi Olaitan in Ibadan 

The National Association of Technologists in Engineering (NATE), has aligned itself with the roadmap of the Council for the Regulation of Engineers in Nigeria (COREN), on checkmating cases of collapsed buildings nationwide.

It would be recalled that many lives and property worth millions of naira have been lost to cases of collapsed structures across the country.

However, the National President of NATE, Rt. Hon. Dominic Udoatan, while speaking with journalists on the sideline of the 39th Conference of Technologists and Annual General Meeting of the association in Ibadan, said cases of collapsed structures would soon become a thing of the past by the time the COREN Roadmap 2023 to 2027 is fully implemented.

According to him, “NATE has aligned itself with the roadmap of COREN on checkmating the cases of collapsed structures. The present President of COREN, Prof.)= S.Z. Abubakar, who is a Chief regulator of the engineering profession has put a lot of things in place to checkmate quackery in the profession.”

The Chairman of the occasion, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, representing Oyo South Senatorial District, in his remarks, called for active participation of the technologists in the art of nation building, noting that for the nation to advance technologically technologists have a huge role in play.

The National Vice President, Southwest of NATE, Tokede Oluremi Sunday, on his part, assured that technologists would continue to play a pivotal role in the art of nation building.
