INTRODUCTION
The Nigerian Society of Engineers was established in London, England
on February 6, 1958 with Engr. Chief G. O. Aiwerioba as President and
Engr. Chief T. TejuOyeleye as Secretary. Approximately a year later,
Nigerian Branch of the Society was established at Abeokuta on January
18, 1959 followed shortly afterwards by the establishment of the
National Secretariat in Lagos with Engr. Chief Adeniyi Williams as
President and Engr. Chief G. O. Aiwerioba as Secretary.
The Society was formally inaugurated in Lagos on August 20, 1960 by
the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sir Abukakar
Tafawa Balewa.
In addition to the National Secretariat at the National Engineering
Centre, off National Mosque-Labour House Road
Central Area, Abuja, the Society maintains a Liaison Office at the Lagos
National Engineering Centre, Lagos. The Society has Fifty Eight (59)
Branches in nearly all the States of the Federation.
The NSE is the national umbrella organization for the Engineering
Profession in the country. Like some of its counterparts in other
countries, the Society has distinguished itself through progressive and
imaginative programmes to become the avenue for true professorial
development of its members as well as the technological development
of the country
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Society is to promote the advancement of
engineering education, research and practiceof Engineering in all its
ramifications. Naturally, this is with a view to maintaining and
enhancing the professional capabilities of its members so as to better
equip them to fulfill the needs of the profession for the good of the
public and the nation.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership is open to all who possess qualifications that are
accredited by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria
(COREN), under the provisions of Engineering Registration Decree (No.
55) of 1970 or such amendments thereof irrespective of race, tribe or
religion. There are seven grades of membership; Fellow, Corporate,
Associate, Graduate, Student, Corporate Firm and Honorary Fellow.
STRUCTURE
Organization
The highest policy making body of the Society is the Council which
comprises of elected National Executive Members, Branch/Division
Chairmen, Representatives of other Engineering Bodies/Institutions
and some Coopted Corporate Members. The President is the Chairman
of Council. Overall coordination of the Society's activities is carried out
from the Secretariat, currently housed at the National Engineering

These are organized nationwide and coordinated by the National
Secretariat, and are geared towards professional improvement and
continuing education amongst members. One of the special events is
the biennial October Lecture normally delivered by a Past President of
the society. The Society holds an annual Conference based on a chosen
theme at a predetermined venue and date. This is also a forum for
Engineers to exchange ideas and update their knowledge on
contemporary issues and future developments in Engineering. The
weeklong event is rounded off with the Annual General Meeting (AGM)
during which National Officers are elected.
Advisory services:
NSE provides guidance to members on a wide range of matters relevant
to their Engineering practice. Government, Corporate Organizations
and the general public may also seek advice of the Society on
professional Engineering matters.
Benevolent fund:
The Society maintains a benevolent fund to which individual members
contribute. The fund is to help members and their families, who are in
distress.
9
Awards and prizes:
Grants/Fellowship Awards and Prizes for papers, research and other
contributions to the profession are awarded by the NSE from time to
time, to those who distinguish themselves in the profession.
Competitions:
The Society encourages and sponsors competition at various
educational levels Secondary Schools through Universities to
Professional institutions.
Code of ethics:
NSE has established a Code of Ethics to control the professional conduct
of her members. Disciplinary actions are instituted under this Code. The
Society launched the Campaign against Corruption in Engineering
Projects (CACEP) in 1998, as part of its contribution in the fight against
corruption which hinders rapid development of the country.
Liaison with government:
The Society liaises with Government on matters affecting the
Engineering profession and represents the profession on the Boards of
some government bodies/agencies. It maintains close relations with
COREN on all issues relating to the profession. These include
Engineering Regulation & Monitoring (ERM), Mandatory Continuing
Professional Development (MCPD) and remuneration for Engineers.
International relations:
The Society represents Nigeria through her membership of the
Commonwealth Engineers Council (CEC) and the World Federation of
Engineering Organizations (WFEO). NSE is also a member of Federation
of African Engineering Organizations (FAOE) and houses the Secretariat
as well.
