The executive secretary of UBEC, Dr. Hamid Bobboyi, who spoke while signing the MoU in Abuja yesterday, said the whole idea is to provide a conducive learning environment in the country. He said COREN would engage in monitoring the commission’s projects at least twice a month once the project started.

      “We have been giving money in the form of matching grants, and much of these monies that have been given to states have been used for infrastructure.“There are times we have real challenges in the quality of infrastructure but we hope that the journey we began with COREN will help us deliver the quality projects that we all yearn for and that can serve Nigeria’s energy,” he said.

On his part, the registrar of COREN, Professor Joseph Odigure said resident engineers would be in charge of monitoring projects in the respective states. He noted that the MoU is to ensure COREN perfectly monitors UBEC projects for proper and quality delivery.
