The Nigerian Society of Engineers continues to grow in size and strength as another branch was added to its already widely circulated branch network in Nigeria. Mowe, a town in Ogun state that borders Ogun and Lagos state became the 79th branch of the Society. The new branch was formed by engineers who believe there should be one in the Mowe and Ibafo environs, and it was inaugurated by the national president himself in person of Engr. Adekunle Mokuolu FNSE who particularly came to launch the new branch.
In his opening address, he started by congratulating the new branch members for their hardwork. He emphasized that, engineers resident in some other communities have tried in the past to be inaugurated like this but failed. He said their application for a branch to be formed at Mowe enjoyed early success and he is not surprised they have gone this far in a very while.
He also encouraged and urged them to remain united and make positive impact in their immediate society and beyond, in order for them to be able to remain relevant.
Solving power issue in Nigeria was also part of the discussion at the inaugural ceremony of the new branch that has as its theme, alternative energy: stimulus for social and technological development. In delivering his paper, the guest lecturer, Engr. Abiodun Ajasa MNSE who amongst other points established the different sources of renewable energy Nigeria can explore, its benefits and impact on the socio-economic development of Nigeria not leaving out the opportunities it portends for the vast growing population of the country and the roles of the government from all levels and that of the corporate entities in achieving sustainable renewable energy in the country.
If Nigeria wants to truly achieve constant power supply leveraging on available renewable energy sources, them government at all levels, engineering practitioners, private sector, investors and every practitioner in the renewable formal and informal sectors have roles to play and must ensure that this is done in the most professional way to align with global best practices and meet global standards, he further said.
