To this end, he opined that there should be no more cases of building collapse which he frowned at and termed a bad situation that must be brought to a stop.

According to the statement released by the Ministry, the Perm Sec said there seems to be a disconnect somewhere between Nigerian Engineers and COREN, and that COREN as a matter of urgency proffer an urgent solution to this situation.

Mamman also advised that all Regulators in the Engineering body should come together and seek audience with the Ministry of Finance especially as regards the recent Federal Government Policy directive of self funding for all such bodies.

He further spoke to the idea of the consideration of levies as a way of generating revenues to assist the council.



Thereafter, he charged the council to come up with implementable plans and guide lines by going back to the drawing board for them to be able to reposition the Body for better performance and impactful services to Nigerians.

Mamman appreciated the visit which he said was very fruitful and he is better informed now than before on the activities of the Body, directing that proper checks and registration

Along side mandatory monitoring be carried out on construction activities that will end up in Nigerians living in well built solid buildings with confidence without any fear of collapse, come rain, come sun shine nation wide in Nigeria.

Earlier, the Registrar of COREN, Engr. ( Prof ) Adisa Bello, said they were in the Ministry to brief the Perm.Sec on the activities of the Council for the Regulations of Engineering in Nigeria.

The Registrar said COREN is a statutory regulatory organ of the Federal Government of Nigeria, established by Decree No. 55 of 1970 amended by Degree No. 27 of 1992, now Engineers (Registration).



He also confirmed that by the promulgation of Decree 27 of 1992 , COREN was merely a Registration body of Engineers, and it was then known as Council of Registered Engineers of Nigeria.

However with the expansion of its functions in 1992, which now includes Regulation and Control of the Engineering Family, COREN’s name was changed to what it is now, but still retaining the acronym, COREN.

Amongst COREN ‘S MANDATE ARE:
It is empowered to : 1. Regulate and control Engineering practice in Nigeria with all its aspects and ramifications.

2. Ensure that Engineering is practiced by industry, Government and professionals according to acceptable and prescribed standards and abiding by the ethics and cannons of the profession.

3. Ensuring that only registered Engineers head Engineering departments and Units, 4. Ensuring that without proper registration with COREN, Engineering Practitioners do not progress or function beyond legally prscribed levels among other key mandates of COREN.

Also in attendance were relevant Directors of the Engineering Departments of the Ministry who also contributed to the very meaningful discussions.
