The COREN President who asked for a decline in the passage of the proposed Bill pointed out certain clauses of the Bill that are direct affronts to some provisions in a number of existing Acts of parliament which portends usurpation of functions of many other agencies of Government including those of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, COREN.
He further expounded in a memorandum he presented at the Public Hearing that the proposed Bill also promotes unnecessary duplication of functions/roles already being undertaken by other agencies, hence breeding nest for avoidable inter-agency bickering and unhealthy rivalry, waste of scarce public resources on multiplicity of roles by different agencies on the same duty.
He underscored that the proposed Bill, if not declined would create more problems than it intended to solve.
