activities that could be necessary to maintain a strict standard of professional ethics amongst its members, and to advance the interest of the engineering profession in Nigeria.\u00a0In the discharge of its functions, the society is expected to collaborate with industry, commerce and academia and other such national bodies as may be necessary and to present to the government of Nigeria, the views of the Society on subjects of concern or interest of Engineers in Nigeria. The Society has tremendous progress since its establishment. The Lagos branch is one of the most pronounced and successful of all in Society\u2019s branches.

It started operating from NEPA (formerly ECN) offices at Ijora, courtesy of Engr. E.H Yonren, a General Manager. Eventually, activities of the branch were moved to the University of Lagos, in a bid to situate the Branch in a more central and accessible location for the engineers in Lagos metropolis. The University authorities, as a conscious demonstration of their corporate commitment to the growth of the Branch, gave a two-room office in the Faculty of Engineering to NSE-LB as its temporary secretariat.\u00a0<\/p><p>This remained the case until 2005, when the branch executive committee, under the leadership of Engr. A. Oyedepo, FNSE applied for the allocation of a separate piece of land in the University of Lagos. The then V.C, Prof. OyewusiIbidapoObe gave the request an instant approval. The permanent secretariat was named after the first chairman of the branch, Engr. (Ven.) Bolude Philips Oyebolu, FNSE, PPNSE. The site was cleared, consultants were chosen, designs were made and the event of the \u2018Turning of the First Sod\u2019 was conducted on March 2, 2007 at the Works and Physical Planning Yard of the University, where the land is situated.<\/p><p>The building will be officially known as \u2018Oyebolu Engineering Resource Centre (OYERC).\u2019 Close observation of the brief will reveal that the intended permanent secretariat will be more or less another \u201cEngineering Centre\u201d as well as an extension of the faculty of Engineering of the University of Lagos. Facilities will include equipped E-library, conference hall, chairman\u2019s office, chairman\u2019s secretary office, Vice chairman\u2019s office, Board Room, Secretary\u2019s office, the General office and Gallery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f080e3 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0f080e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">PAST CHAIRMEN:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f023f22 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f023f22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol>\n    <li>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Engr.
