A joint inspection team from the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) Damaturu branch, and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) has expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of key projects being executed by the federal and Yobe state governments in the state.
The team visited three major sites in the state capital Wednesday as part of a routine quarterly oversight mission on the ongoing expansion of the Potiskum-Maiduguri expressway, the construction of new facilities at the Federal Polytechnic Damaturu, and the comprehensive upgrade of the August 27th Stadium.
Briefing journalists after the tour, the chairman of the NSE Damaturu branch, Mustapha Abdullahi, clarified that the visit was collaborative, not investigative.
“Our purpose is not to investigate anyone. We are not the police. We are there to share ideas,” he stated.
He stated that the exercise serves as a field training for young engineers and a platform for professional oversight.
“We have young engineers with us from whom we want to gain first-hand experience. We also have a team of senior professional engineers who can provide solutions. We offer recommendations where we see lapses and we are there to solve problems,” Abdullahi said.
