About NSE – Nigerian Society of Engineers

The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) was established in 1958 with the primary objective of providing a rallying forum for Nigerian Engineers to address the problem of colonial marginalization for an increased participation in the policy formulation and physical development of our fatherland.

Since then, the Nigerian engineer has recorded tremendous achievements in the areas of science, engineering, and technology.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian engineer
has had to cope with a very hostile environment occasioned by the invasion of the engineering profession by quacks and impostors of sorts.

This has resulted in very poor standard job, numerous abandoned projects everywhere, structural failures, fires and
outright collapses.

Objectives of Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE)

The objectives of NSE are as follows:

  1. To provide a central organization for engineers in Nigeria and generally to such things as may from time to time be necessary to maintain a strict standard or professional ethics among its members and to advance the interest of the engineering profession in Nigeria.
  2. To promote, protect, encourage and maintain a high standard of engineering study and practice and to encourage greater efficiency therein.
  3. To present to the Government of Nigeria the views of the Society on any subject of concern or interest to engineers in Nigeria and if considered advisable to join with any other bodies in submitting such representation.
  4. To present to any other individual or bodies or organization the views of the society on any subject of concern or interest to engineers in Nigeria or any appropriate subject on which the views of the Society may be invited.
  5. To provide a body to which the Government or other official or unofficial authority or organization in Nigeria can have recourse for advice, assistance or the expression of views on any subjects of concern or interest to engineers in Nigeria.
  6. To facilitate the development and acquisition of technology by conducting visits to places of engineering interest, reading technical papers, holding meetings, conferences, publishing books journals and periodicals on engineering matters.
  7. To subscribe or guarantee or otherwise use monies of the Society for charitable or benevolent objects or scholarships on bursaries or for any exhibitions for any public, general, or useful objects.
  8. To provide for the training and examination of students in engineering as well as the continuing professional update and development of its members.
