COREN is now in the process of becoming a provisional signatory to the Washington Accord (WA), which grants job privileges to recognized Nigerian graduates of engineering.

Engineers from signatory countries – Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Malaysia, India, Germany, Russia, and Sri Lanka – are hired without further examination under the pact.

Ali Rabiu, President of COREN, announced this during a Train-the-Trainers Workshop on Outcome-Based Engineering Education (OBE) for delegates from Nigerian universities in the North-Central zone.

“We aim to fulfill our responsibility of regulating engineering practice in all its manifestations in order to bring it up to worldwide standards and to grow engineering programs in Nigerian universities,” he stated.

Rabiu stated that COREN intends to strengthen the accreditation system and facilitate the process of local and worldwide recognition of engineering degrees earned at Nigeria’s higher educational institutions.

The following stage, he explained, is to assemble a critical mass of knowledgeable and experienced individuals in OBE, as well as mentees of the OBE learning environment, who will pioneer and champion capacity development for the various strata of engineering professionals involved in training, practicing, and regulation (now referred to as University-based OBE implementers).

“The objective is to equip participants to acquire knowledge and skills in OBE and to train others in the concepts and practices of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in Nigerian universities,” he explained.

Prof. J. A. Enokela, Dean, College of Engineering, Joseph Tarka University, Makurdi, expressed gratitude to COREN for making the workshop a reality, noting that the training is one of the best things that would happen in Nigeria’s drive to revolutionize the profession.

This is to inform University of Port Harcourt students that the new resumption date for all returning students, including U2021 students who have been home for more than six months, is February 28th, 2022.

Additionally, the revised examination dates for freshly admitted students are February 21–25, 2022.

Remain Informed!

Recall that the University’s official Academic Calendar for the 2021/2022 academic year began on Monday, November 29, 2021, for both new and returning students.

Additionally, recall that upon assumption of office, Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Okechuku Onuchuku, magnanimously reversed the amount payable as Acceptance costs for students to the amount payable in the 2020/2021 session. He also restored the previous year’s school fees (charges) for the 2020/2021 term.

The Acting Vice Chancellor also  established an installment payment plan for those unable to pay all fees/charges in full at once.

To the University Administration’s dismay, these student-friendly practices have not been reciprocated, since the overwhelming majority of students, both new and returning, have refused to pay their fees/charges. In light of the foregoing, the University Administration has issued the following directive:

1. All returning students must pay at least the first installment of the 2021/2022 session’s fees/charges and register for at least the First Semester courses online by Friday, February 11, 2022.

2. All new students admitted in the first, second, or third admission batches for the 2021/2022 academic year must pay the charges, Acceptance fees, and at least the first installment of their school fees, and register for at least the first semester courses by February 11, 2022.

Please note that students who do not pay their costs or register for the session in a timely manner are not considered university students for the academic session.

As a result, any student, new or returning, who does not adhere to the aforementioned directions risks losing his or her studentship.

All Deans of Faculties and Heads of Departments are responsible for ensuring compliance by students in their respective Faculties and Departments.
