The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria and the Nigerian Society of Engineers on Wednesday inducted 260 graduands of the University of Jos into the engineering profession.
Ali Rabiu, the president of NSE, commended the University of Jos for producing quality engineers.
He commended the Faculty of Engineering for its positive contribution towards the development of the profession in the country.
“Let me commend the faculty of engineering of this institution for its invaluable contribution to the development of competent and industry-ready engineers.
“Beyond technical instruction, you have instilled in these graduates the essential values of professionalism, integrity, discipline, innovation and leadership.
“Your dedication, resilience and commitment to excellence continue to position this faculty among the leading engineering institutions in the country.
“Your efforts significantly strengthen the engineering profession and contribute meaningfully to national growth and development,” he said.
Administering the oath to the graduands, COREN registrar Okorie Uche called on the inductees to uphold the ethics of the engineering profession.
Mr Uche advised the graduands to regularly update their knowledge and skills.
“You must be professional at all times; cutting corners should be out of your plans. Anyone caught engaging in shady deals under the guise of this profession will not be spared,” he warned.
Tanko Ishaya, the university’s vice-chancellor, called on the inductees to be good ambassadors of the institution.
Mr Ishaya, who tasked them to remember their alma mater at all times, promised to introduce more courses that would have a direct impact on society.
