Given the Research and Development responsibilities the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute carry out in the Built, Road and Engineering sectors it often entails that the Institute remains constantly in touch with all relevant professional and regulatory bodies.<\/p>\n
Some of these bodies include amongst others, the Nigerian Society of Engineers, Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB), Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA), Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP), Council for the Regulation of Engineers in Nigeria (COREN), Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) etc<\/p>\n
It is in light of this that, the Institute recently granted audience to the Institute of Metallurgical, Mining and Materials Engineers, at its administrative headquarters in Abuja. The delegation was received by the DG\/CEO of NBRRI, Professor D.S Matawal along with some top management Staff of the institute.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a brief but elaborative session, the President of the Nigerian Institute of Metallurgical, Mining and Materials Engineers, Engr. Professor Daniel Nnamdi Obikwelu said, NBRRI has no doubt significantly impacted on the Engineering sector of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Engr. Obikwelu who updated the DG\/CEO of NBRRI, on some of the Association\u2019s activities, further appreciated the efforts made by the Institute in the areas of innovation. He assured that, his association, which formerly operated as a Division, has been upgraded to an Institute as such; it is ready to partner with the Institute in any area that will benefit the Country.<\/p>\n
Responding, Prof. Matawal thanked the delegation for the visit and assured them that the long standing relationship between the Institute and NBRRI will continue to grow.<\/p>\n
The DG stressed the significance of these bodies to the Institute\u2019s vision and mandate in various fields of, building, road and engineering and added that the Nigerian Institution of Metallurgical, Mining and Materials Engineers can work with NBRRI in its R&D (Ceramic tiles) and the fabrication of her machines.<\/p>\n
According to him, Nigeria should strive towards perfecting its machines in industrialization and production while also ensuring that the assembly takes place in the country. As lack of these aspect is partially responsible for the nation\u2019s backwardness.<\/p>\n
