Onyibe charges maritime engineers on ethics
ENGINEERS operating within Nigeria’s Maritime environment have a responsibility to protect lives,
Technical Advisor, Phoenix Register of Shipping, Kuzi Onyibe has said.
Speaking at the Public Lecture & induction ceremony title: ‘Maritime Equipment Handling: A survey and examination of shipping handling equipment’, Onyibe advised members to uphold the ethical standard of the profession by rejecting equipment that is below standard in their respective areas of supervision within the maritime industry.
The Lecture was at the instance of the President, Nigerian Society of Engineers, NSE, and Otis Anyaeji who was represented by the Vice President, Abagana Mohammed.
At the event organized by NSE Apapa Branch, ten new members were inducted.
Onyibe in his lecture emphasised on the competency and responsibility of those in charge of handling and examining equipment.
The specific areas of equipment, which were the key focus of the day, were the “Lifting Appliances & Loose Gears.”
On thorough examination of equipment with a view to avoiding accidents and disasters, the Speaker advised engineers to make honesty and integrity their watchword, desisting from allowing money or sentiments to influence their judgment when inspecting shipping equipment. He told them to ensure they are always guided by statutory requirements.
On his part, the Chairman, NSE, Apapa Branch, Olalekan Taiwo, explained that since maritime sector falls within the areas of Engineers, it was necessary to bring in stakeholders.
He said, “For so long, we have depended on oil and gas and even with the oil and gas, offshore installation and all that still pass through the same thing.
“Most of the equipment used in oil and gas sector which are handling equipment fall within the purview of maritime. This is the reason we bring in stakeholder to see how things work properly” he said.
Taiwo added that ten new members were also inducted into the society, noting that it had been the tradition of the society to welcome and encourage inductees to do well.
He said, “After the induction, they will move to COREN to be certified as engineers. Having a degree or certificate in engineering does not qualify one as an engineer; he is only a graduate of engineering and cannot use the title or prefix
‘ENGINEER’ before his name. If one does that, it is a criminal offence. We want them to be well guided and build on what they have learnt in the last four or five years” he said.
Mohammed advised the inductees to be good ambassadors of the Society.
