Achema who listed out what engineers seeking development in technology like other nations must do said all fields of engineering technology must engage SON, must aggressively get involved in standards development beyond the moment, among others.

“Nigerian engineers have distinguished themselves in research and development globally; we must not wait endlessly for others to develop standards for us. The Nigerian National Committee of IEC is hungry and thirsty for participation and involvement of Engineers, manufacturers of EE products, Individual experts, academia, consumers,” he added.

On his part, National Chairman, Nigerian Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (NIEEE), Engr. Kings Adeyemi who spoke on ‘Benefits of Standards in Power & Telecoms Industries,’ said there are a lot of opportunities provided by standards in electricity industry.

Addressing the theme of the conference, tagged, ‘Emerging Technologies: Driving Energy and Communications Development,’ he said standards development is driving industry technological advancement, and, in some cases, defining utility business practices.
