The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) has raised concern over the integrity of an intersection bridge otherwise called flyover being constructed by the administration of Governor Rochas Okorocha at Amawire, Akwakuma in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Briefing newsmen on the outcome of the council’s first quarterly meeting for 2017, President and Chairman of the council, Mr. Kashim Ali disclosed that a letter had been written to the governor requesting him to provide details of the consultants and contractors handling the project so that they can furnish the body with some necessary information.



Ali warned that the council would not hesitate to invite the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), to storm the project site and arrest anybody seen there, if the government failed to comply.

“We got a disturbing report from Imo State on a bridge on Amawire, Okigwe Road and Akwakuma flyover. Our Engineering regulatory monitoring team noticed defects; they requested from the government the details of the consultants and contractors involved especially the engineers so we can know what went wrong.”

“The state government has not given us that information; we have written to the governor for them to give us the details urgently; to know the engineers involved to prevent what will cost lives. If they don’t do that, we have no option but to report the matter under our Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) conditions to ICPC and they would find whoever it is and get information they need.”

The council also deliberated on the report of alleged professional misconduct against a Professor of Agriculture and Environmental Engineering, from the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Simon Irtwange and referred the case to an investigating panel to determine whether the actions constituted ethical misconduct.

COREN President said the professor would be tried by the tribunal if any case was established against him

COREN don dey find small thing for pocket

Someone just said that Jesus didn't go to school . I know Mohammed graduate from Cambridge without WAEC result. See what buhari is telling Muslims . 2years is gone Buhari hasn't done anything for us . Next year anybody that will campaign for bubu will die by stoning .

We all should be thankful that COREN has shown interest in bridges been built in Imo by Rochas and his friends. Someone posted before that brick blocks were being used to build bridges in Imo state and the person was attacked.
Let us not forget that a pedestrian bridge built by Governor Rochas Okorocha at Heroes’ Children’s Park collapsed while the governor was on the bridge.

Lives of our people should not be compromised because we want to cut corners. Rochas should be called to order before people lose their lives to corruption

I wonder why it's so hard to follow standards and procedures in this country. What exactly is the problem with Nigerians?

That's ApC miscreants for you..

Rocha's is looking for something to call an achievement, building fake things up and down.

can someone tell the owerri comedian and his Boy Abagworo that we dont use wheel barrow to build flyovers in Uyo

next time they should go to a reasonable Company and ask for advice

COREN, more of this please.

efe aws won fall oooo..lol

the governor will come out and praise the engineer .
Abagworo will come here and say the body was misquoted.
remember the culvert called tunnel that was commissioned and closed for reconstruction.

If you're in Owerri, avoid that bridge until COREN says otherwise.

Only bin Imobstate that China roads are built

aguiyi2:
COREN, more of this please.

Exactly.
Let's commend COREN for this proactive step.

Imo state my pride n heritage. I love my people.

Heartbeats of eastern Nigeria.

COREN, many of your certified Engineers are suffering even in Federal government establishments.

No gain for been registered. Let there be a standard rule for your registered Engineers please. Engineering is the Life line of any society that will experience drastic development. Everything should not just be politics.
