A Dutse-based educationist, Dr. Adamu Aliyu Kiyawa, has urged the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) to sensitise its members on the need to update their knowledge and skills to enhance professionalism in engineering profession.
Addressing the NSE members during the association’s annual general meeting and inuaguration of New Exco in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, Kiyawa said through the updated skills, knowledge and expertise of engineers, their reputation will attract public confidence in fighting the syndrome of collapse constructions in the country.
“I urge our engineers to stand firmly to sanitise their skills and knowledge in confronting unforeseen challenges. You’re expected to work hard to acquire public confidence.
