1. EDUCATIONAL SECTOR :-
The incumbent executives had consolidated much interest in the reinforcement of
the NICESA EDUCATIONAL SECTOR in order to producing qualitative and unique
graduates who will graduate with the vision of been versatile in the working industry
in terms of production. It is known in the country today that most of the equipment’s
/ machines used in Nigeria are imported and as such, we have deemed it fit to
introduce:

exhibit their own ideologies towards the development of this country at the end
of every year (during AGM). As winners will be awarded.
ii) TECHNICAL VISITS – Where all REGISTERED Institutions of NICESA will be engaged
in technical visits through their BRANCH CHAIRMAN, in order to increasing their

attending the Annual General Meetings of the Mother body (NICE) through their
various Branches.

stepped up in engaging INSTITUTIONS through various games competitions.

paramount that Exco’s will be paying courtesy visits to various Institutions across
the Nation to woo them on their continuous development.

Affiliations, we have decided to repackage our outfits in all gathering we engage
in, thereby coming out in colorful NICESA outfits, well composed and behaved.

students whom are qualified for SIWES get I.T placement in their respective

Introducing “KLINIKS” in all her REGISTERED Institutions where Practicing Civil

RESOLUTION
We crave the indulgence of the leadership of NICE to create a Bank account for NICESA and
also review a percentage of the Students MRF (Membership Registration Fee) that should be
paid into the said account. This will in no small measure, drive the National Executives of
NICESA to engage her Chapters into massive Registration which will in turn generate Internal
Revenue for NICESA in order not to be totally financially dependent on NICE thereby
reducing frequent disturbance.
Furthermore, Zonal Coordinators were appointed by NICESA National Coordinator in
agreement with the National Executive Council to oversee the affairs of NICESA in the
various zones of the nation due to their efforts in ensuring the growth of NICESA. Those
include:
Ogbonna Stephen - South-South Zone
Ifeanyi Okpala - South-West Zone
We do appreciate the fund released for NICESA during the Conference but you’ll agree with
us that it wasn’t enough as we tasked ourselves to realize our Aims, Visions and Objectives.
In that note, Just like Oliver Twist, NICESA asks for more.
Find attached, papers presented during the Conference.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive and fast response.
