The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) on Saturday inducted no fewer than 400 graduate Engineers of the Class 2024 of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna.

The induction marked a significant milestone in the careers of the graduate engineers.

They were formally inducted into the engineering profession by the society and Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

The inductees graduated from the Departments of Aerospace, Automotive, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.

Others included electrical and electronics, civil and environmental engineering, information and communication technology, and telecommunications engineering.

In his address, Auwal Kasim, provost of the AFIT, charged the graduates to exhibit professional competence, due diligence, and moral ethics in their practice.

Represented by the provost, the commandant of AFIT, AVM Sani Rabe, highlighted its achievements and its commitment to producing well-rounded engineers.

He said the institute had grown significantly since its establishment 40 years ago, with five faculties offering 22 NUC-accredited programmes, a postgraduate school, and two NBTE-accredited programs.

Mr Rabe emphasised the importance of professional ethics, urging graduate engineers to uphold the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and responsibility in their practice.

He also encouraged them to remain committed to lifelong learning and stay abreast of the latest developments and advancements in their field.

The commandant reiterated AFIT’s openness to collaborations with stakeholders, such as the NSE and COREN, to make its engineering programmes globally relevant and competitive.

Earlier, the president of NSE, Margaret Oguntala, urged the graduate engineers to uphold the ethics of the engineering profession wherever they may find themselves.

Dignitaries from the Nigerian Air Force, the NSE, COREN, and other stakeholders in the engineering profession attended the induction ceremony.
