The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has partnered the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) to ensure delivery of quality projects undertaken by the commission across the country.
According to the commission, COREN will engage in the monitoring of UBEC’s projects at least twice a month once they start in various states.
Executive Secretary of UBEC, Dr Hamid Bobboyi, who spoke while signing the MoU in Abuja, said the idea of the MoU is to provide a conducive environment for learning in the country.
He said: “We have been giving money in the form of matching grants instincts, and much of these monies that have been given to states have been used for infrastructure.
“There are times we have real challenges in the quality of infrastructure but it is our hope that the journey we began with COREN will help us deliver the quality projects that we all yearn for and that can serve Nigeria’s energy.”
Registrar of COREN, Prof Joseph Odigure said resident engineers will be in charge of monitoring projects in the respective states.
Odigure noted that the MoU is to ensure COREN perfectly monitors UBEC projects for proper and quality delivery.
