He also said that members of the society had the responsibility to hold the government accountable for the provision of deliberate infrastructure to build the nation.
The chairman, however, said the branch was encouraging more eligible engineers to register as members of the society to discharge their social responsibilities.
Responding, Mohammed lauded the branch’s projects, noting that part of the mandate of ”NSE is to encourage development at the grassroots.”
The president promised that his tenure would ensure the grooming of young engineers so that they could be relevant to the larger society.
According to him, engineers have a great deal to contribute to the building of the nation and they ought to train younger engineers.
