The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and the Nigeria Building and Road Research Institute (NIBRRI) have partnered with the Chartered Institute of Forensics and Certified Fraud Investigators of Nigeria (CIFCFIN) to tackle engineering failures in the country. The initiative aims to curb the menace of engineering failures that can result in loss of lives, public resources, safety, and institutional trust.
Dr. Iliyasu Gashinbaki, President and Chairman of CIFCFIN, highlighted the scale of the challenge, noting that between 2015 and 2025, there were 111 validated building collapses in Nigeria, resulting in 321 deaths and 344 injuries. The partnership between COREN, NIBRRI, and CIFCFIN is seen as a significant milestone for Nigeria's engineering profession, as it equips engineers with dual competencies in engineering expertise and forensic investigation skills.
