The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) to ensure proper execution of projects.
Dr Hamid Bobboyi, the Executive Secretary of UBEC, who spoke while signing the MoU in Abuja on Wednesday, said the motive behind the agreement was to enable COREN to monitor the Commission’s projects at least twice a month once the project started.
He said the idea was to provide conducive learning environment for learning in the country.
“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,” Bobboyi said.
“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.”
Speaking at the event, Professor Joseph Odigure, the Registrar of COREN, said resident engineers will be in charge of monitoring projects in the respective states.
Odigure noted that the MoU is to ensure COREN perfectly monitor UBEC projects for proper and quality delivery.
