The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) has called for joint efforts among stakeholders to secure Nigeria’s full membership of the Sydney and Dublin Accords.

COREN President, Professor Sadiq Zubair Abubakar, said the move would enhance international recognition of Nigerian engineering qualifications and open global opportunities for professionals.

He made the call in Abuja during a workshop organised by COREN and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to guide Nigeria’s application process for the accords.

Abubakar described the membership bid as a national priority that will strengthen the country’s engineering education system.

NBTE Executive Secretary, Professor Idris Bugaje, noted that while Nigeria is close to joining the Washington Accord for university-level engineers, focus has now shifted to achieving similar recognition for HND and OND holders.

The workshop featured technical sessions by Professor Megat Johari Megat Mohd Noor of Malaysia and presentations on advocacy strategies by Professor Christian Bolu, who urged collaboration to meet international standards.
