According to the President, NIIE, Mr. Ayodeji Oluleye, innovation is the door to productivity and a catalyst for growth.

“We are currently in a recession, therefore, we must begin with the creation of real wealth to jump-start the growth process,” he said.

The Managing Director, Alphamead Facilities Management and Services Limited, Mr. Femi Akintunde, was given an award for his contribution to industrial development and professional excellence.

Akintunde said that while the major objective of the new initiative was to grow capacity in the industry, it would also foster synergy among stakeholders within the engineering profession.
