Prof. S. Z. Abubakar<\/strong>, has launched a groundbreaking roadmap aimed at transforming engineering education across the country. The initiative, unveiled at a high-profile event in Lagos State, focuses on <strong>capacity building and the adoption of global best practices in curriculum development<\/strong> for universities and polytechnics.<\/p><p>Prof. Abubakar emphasized the urgency of implementing these reforms, citing the need for Nigerian engineers to remain competitive in an increasingly globalized industry.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201cThe time to act is now. Our roadmap sets clear timelines and actionable steps to ensure that engineering graduates are equipped with the skills and knowledge required to thrive in the modern world,\u201d he stated during the unveiling.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>The roadmap outlines key strategies, including:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Curriculum modernization<\/strong> to align with international standards.<\/li><li><strong>Integration of practical and digital skills<\/strong> into engineering programs.<\/li><li><strong>Capacity-building initiatives<\/strong> for lecturers and technical instructors.<\/li><li><strong>Industry-academia partnerships<\/strong> to bridge the gap between theory and practice.<\/li><\/ul><p>Stakeholders from academia, industry, and government hailed the roadmap as a bold and necessary step toward revitalizing Nigeria\u2019s engineering sector. The plan also seeks to foster innovation, enhance employability, and strengthen local content development in critical sectors such as infrastructure and energy.<\/p><p>With this initiative, COREN reaffirms its commitment to positioning Nigeria as a hub for engineering excellence in Africa.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cS70yoG4nEY
