Council of the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), says it will commence registration for expatriate engineers before they can be allowed to practice in the country.
This was even as it stated that the 2018 amended Act will help check quackery in the building sector as it allows for investigations to be carried out on not only licensed engineers but also non-engineers who engage in engineering business that lead to failure of infrastructure.
COREN President, Mr Ali Rabiu made the disclosure at the weekend during an interactive session with journalists in Abuja.
According to him, there was a need to allow only registered engineers to practice and encourage local engineers and craftsmen whose efforts will contribute to the profession and the country.
