The IET Nigeria Branch holds General Meeting

The IET Nigeria Branch, which formerly operated as The IEE Nigeria branch, will hold her General Meeting on Saturday 24 June 2006 at the National Engineering Center, 1, Engineering Close, Victoria Island, Lagos from 10 a.m.

The IET Nigeria Branch comprises both the senior and younger members of The IET in Nigeria. Thus, all categories of members are expected.

The meeting will be the first in Nigeria since the creation of the new Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on March 31, 2006. The IET (www.theiet.org) was formed with the merger of the former Institution of Electrical Engineers, The IEE, and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers, The IIE. Thus, the meeting is an expanded meeting where the members of former Institutions are expected to be in attendance. Membership of The IET is open to everyone working or interested in the fields of science, engineering and technology. Intending members could also attend the meeting.

The Younger Members will also meet after the main branch meeting on the day. The IET Younger Members comprises student, recent graduates and young professional under the age of 30 studying or working in the fields relevant to The IET. The Younger Members’ meeting will consider universities and polytechnics that want to hold an IET event and those that want to establish a Student Section of The IET.
