The President of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, Prof Sadiq Abubakar, has insisted that there’s a need for appropriate and timely sanctions to curb the recurring collapse of the national grid, building, and road infrastructures.
He made this observation in Lagos recently while speaking with newsmen after the inauguration of the Lagos Regional Steering Committee, which is part of the COREN’s move at decentralising its activities and operations across the six geopolitical zones.
Abubakar said decentralising COREN’s activities would give room for timely responses and sanctions where necessary in order to save the lives and property of Nigerians.
He said, “The recurring national grid and building failures require a robust regulatory and legal framework to mitigate the incidents. Every aspect of our lives deals with engineering. So, we are very conscious of that, and that’s why we must save the life and property of the citizenry.
