Dr Emmanuel Salifu) who worked hard to form the Glasgow Branch.
The Nigerian Society of Engineers Glasgow is a diaspora branch of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) , the umbrella organisation for the Engineering Profession in Nigeria. The Society looks after the professional needs of members in Scotland through well structured programs and regular interactions among the different cadre of membership, enhancing high professional standard and ethical practices.
The NSE Glasgow branch was first created in 2017 out of the need to have a platform in Scotland that could enable Nigerian Engineers residing in Scotland to contribute towards the development of the Engineering profession in Nigeria. The establishment of the Branch was approved by the NSE Council in September 2020, recognizing it as the 81st branch of the NSE.
