Here Is All You Should Know About The Nigerian Society Of Engineers

Publish date: 2024-05-02

The Nigerian Society of Engineers, NSE, is the umbrella organization for the Engineering Profession in Nigeria. It was founded on 16th February 1958 by a group of young Nigerian graduate engineers and students in the UK and inaugurated at the Nigerian House in London.

The Organisation looks after the professional needs of members through well-structured programmes and regular interactions among the different cadre of membership, enhancing high professional standard and ethical practices.

NSE is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in 1967, as a company Limited by guarantee and not having a share capital.

The original Memorandum and Articles of Association were amended on 1st December 1998. Like some of its counterparts in other professions, the Society has distinguished itself through progressive and imaginative programmes to become the avenue for the professional development of its members as well as technological development of the country.

It is the vision of the Nigerian Society of Engineers to be one of the very best Engineering Professional bodies in the World while the Society’s mission is stated thus: “The Nigerian Society of Engineers is dedicated to providing quality service aimed at enhancing professional competence and development of its members at all times.

“The Nigerian Society of Engineers is committed to focused collaboration with, influencing and providing quality advice to the various arms of Government, Industry, Commerce, academia and the Society at large, for the purpose of uplifting the country as a whole.

“The Nigerian Society of Engineers shall make meaningful contributions to the advancement of technology worldwide”.
