The Nigerian Society of Engineers, Nnewi, Anambra State chapter on Saturday held its 2022 Annual General Meeting and induction of new corporate members.
The AGM, which held at the National Engineering Design Development Institute, Anambra State had the theme, ‘Sustainable engineering waste conversion: A panacea for energy crisis in Nigeria’.
In his welcome address, the Chairman of the Nnewi chapter of NSE, Mr Obumneme Onyedum, said that it is a thing of joy that the branch is doing excellently well in just nine years of her existence.
He said that the theme of this year’s AGM was carefully chosen because of the need to convert the huge wastes scattered everywhere to wealth especially to generate electricity.
Onyedum said that this has become imperative because of the hazardous nature of refuse dumps that litter the nooks and crannies of the cities in the state.
He said, “You can see scavengers going to the refuse dumps to pick pieces of metals and other materials suitable to them but if the waste are properly harnessed, the state stands to benefit more.
“As a matter of fact, we have decided to work and build a synergy with the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo on waste to wealth economy, interestingly, the state Commissoner for Environment, Chinedu Odumegwu is our member.”
