“I urge all Nigerian engineers, both within the country and beyond our shores to remain steadfast in their hard work and commitment to making lasting impact both locally and globally.
“The world is looking to us for innovative solutions and we must continue to rise to the occasion with resilience, ingenuity and the spirit of excellence,” she said.

She thanked policymakers, leading scientists, captains of industry and all stakeholders for working together with Nigerian engineers over the years.
She said that their collaboration had been instrumental in ensuring that engineering continued to be a driving force for progress and development.
“I remain optimistic that our joint efforts will bring about the much needed transformation in advancing our economy and shaping a sustainable future for our country through engineering.
“The continued cooperation and support of all stakeholders with Nigerian Engineers are essential to effectively tackle the enormous task of infrastructure development and maintenance across the country,” she said.
Oguntala commended United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) for instituting the annual event to recognise engineers and engineering as essential pillars of sustainable development.
