The president and chairman of COREN, Engr Sadiq Zubair Abubakar yesterday at a press briefing in Abuja that the University of Calabar, Cross River State, is currently running engineering programmes up to 300 level while Technical University of Ibadan, Oyo State is currently running engineering programmes up to 500 level without resource verification/pre-verification by COREN.

The COREN president said all the universities had been written officially to call for accreditation of their programmes as presently their programmes are illegal and they need to rectify the abnormalities but there had not been any positive response from any of them.

The COREN president who was represented by the registrar of the council, Engr Adisa Ademola Bello, said  COREN in accordance with the Section 12 of the Federal Republic Government Gazette No:113 of 3rd March, 2023 on regulations on accreditation of engineering programmes in Nigeria provides withdrawal of accreditation and non recognition of graduates of such programmes for registration as engineering practitioners.
