The Nigerian Society of Engineers, Ikeja branch, has presented an academic prize worth N250,000 to the Yaba College of Technology.
The prize is instituted in memory of the late Akinsanya Oludaiye, an engineer and alumnus of the school, in collaboration with his family. It is for the best graduating student in electrical engineering.
The NSE Team led by its Chairman, Mrs. Funmilade Akingbagbohun, noted that the Society’s visit was also to see how to close the huge gap between the classroom and the industry so students can fit into the industry after graduation.
According to her, it became worrisome for the NSE as engineers to see new graduates not adapting to the industry, and this sad development made them come up with mentorship, internship programme and endowment fund for students.
