Unless we dothat we would keep lamenting and lamentation takes us no where”, SultanAbubakar said.The Sultan stated that government should engage the Nigerian Society ofEngineers in a way that can give the Society authority to discipline its membersin government when they go against the tenets of the profession.The sultan assured the NSE of his partnership and support in their profes-Ajibola CommendsBayelsa Govt foruse of indigenousEngineersThe President of the Nigerian Societyof Engineers, Engr.
