The Registrar of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), Engr. Prof. Okorie Austine Uche, FNSE, FNICE , on Tuesday, 9th September 2025, led a high-powered delegation on a courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor of Bayero University, Kano, Prof. Haruna Musa.

The visit served a dual purpose: to formally congratulate Prof. Musa on his recent appointment as Vice-Chancellor of the prestigious university, and to engage with the institution on its readiness to host COREN’s Outcome-Based Education (OBE) Mentors from the International Engineering Alliance (IEA).

The mentors will be in Nigeria to observe the OBE Accreditation Exercise for selected engineering programmes at BUK—a critical process in COREN’s journey towards attaining full Signatory Status of the Washington Accord.

Achieving this milestone will not only strengthen quality assurance in engineering education but also open greater opportunities for Nigerian engineers through enhanced global recognition, mobility, and competitiveness.
