The institute, Engineering Practice &
Resource Centre (EPRC) which was set up last year is to serve as the training
arm and capacity building platform for the Society.
President of NSE, Engr. Mustafa Balarabe
Shehu, who, cut the tape to signal commencement of full-time operations of the
Centre, said the EPRC has been mandated to provide and deliver the best of
industry skills and knowledge to all cadre of engineering personnel, through
qualitative training aimed at providing specializations and continuing
professional education.
According to him, “The scope of operations
envisioned for the Centre is such that it is expected to operate as a global
entity, hence the decision to establish a Governing Board to run its affairs as
an autonomous body.
“In line with its expansion plans, opening of
other branches of the Centre will be replicated all over the six geo-political
zones of the country within a short period of its establishment.”
Former Vice Chancellor of the University of
Ibadan, Prof. Engr. Olufemi Bamiro, is currently serving as the pioneer
Chairman of the Governing Board of the EPRC.
The Engineering Practice & Resource
Centre which is dedicated to the memory of a former President of the Society,
the late Engr. Mustapha Bulama, FNSE, OON, is partnering with MIDAS Information
Technology Company Ltd. and International Energy Services Limited (IESL) to
deliver training and resource development for Engineers and other professionals
in Nigeria.
