  "summary": "The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Africa Green Economy and Sustainability Institute (AGESI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at advancing climate-resilient engineering in Nigeria. The partnership, announced on October 14, 2026, in Lagos, focuses on training engineers, planners, regulators, and infrastructure operators to tackle flooding, climate-related risks, land-use changes, and infrastructure vulnerability. The collaboration is anchored in the Catchment Resilience Engineering Certification (CREC) programme, which will serve as a professional development pathway for engineers across Nigeria. The NSE's Chairman, Engr. Olufemi Dare, emphasized that the partnership will provide Nigerian engineers with internationally aligned tools and evidence-based frameworks to address emerging infrastructure and environmental challenges, thereby enhancing engineers' capacity to protect communities and support Nigeria's transition towards climate-resilient engineering practices.",
