  • FAEO appoints Nigerian engineer, Idowu, to continental capacity development committee* The Federation of African Engineering Organisations (FAEO) has named Nigerian engineer and Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Engr. Olumayowa Ayodeji Idowu, FNSE, among 39 professionals appointed to its Capacity Building Committee for a two-year term. The appointment, confirmed in an official communication dated October 14, 2026, followed an assessment process conducted in accordance with the federation’s Rules of Procedure. FAEO expressed confidence in Idowu’s professional experience and his ability to contribute to initiatives aimed at strengthening engineering capacity and institutional development across Africa. Idowu, a former Chairman of the NSE Abeokuta Branch, currently leads the NSE Branch Chairmen Forum, which brings together branch chairmen from across Nigeria and the diaspora. Beyond his national responsibilities, he serves on a key committee of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) and is a member of its Hackathon Task Force, where he participates in international initiatives promoting engineering innovation, collaboration and professional development. The continental committee, chaired by Eng. Shammah Kiteme Munyoki of Kenya, comprises engineering professionals from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Angola, among other countries. Engr. Abosede Adewole is also representing Nigeria on the committee, which is expected to support FAEO’s efforts to enhance professional competencies, knowledge exchange and engineering capacity development across member countries. Speaking on the appointment, Idowu described it as an opportunity to contribute to Africa’s engineering transformation. “I sincerely appreciate the confidence reposed in me by the leadership of FAEO. This appointment presents another opportunity to promote engineering education, professional excellence and institutional collaboration. I look forward to working with colleagues across the continent to strengthen capacity-building initiatives and expand opportunities for young engineers,” he said. He called for stronger partnerships between academia, industry and professional engineering institutions to address Africa’s technological and skills gaps. “Africa cannot afford to remain behind in a rapidly changing technological world. We must invest in developing a competent, innovative and globally competitive engineering workforce while ensuring that academic training responds to industry needs and emerging technologies,” he stated. The appointment is expected to enhance Nigeria’s participation in continental engineering development efforts, particularly in promoting professional capacity building, technical knowledge sharing and the development of engineering skills required to drive innovation, industrial growth and sustainable development across Africa.

Lagos Socialite Engr. Omotosho Accuses TRAME Executives of Calumny and Blackmail

By News Barrel on May 9, 2024 News

The feud between Lagos socialite Engr. Omotosho and The Residents Association Maplewood Estate (TRAME) Executives has escalated, with accusations flying back and forth in a battle of words and allegations.

In response to allegations from The Residents Association Maplewood Estate (TRAME) Executives, Lagos socialite Engr. Omotosho has fired back, dismissing the claims as a “campaign of calumny” and decrying the accusers as “blackmailers.”

Engr. Omotosho strongly refutes the accusations, labeling them as baseless attempts to tarnish his reputation. The TRAME Executives had levied criticism against him, but he is standing firm in his denial.

In a petition addressed to Governor Babajide Sanwoolu by the TRAME Executives, titled ‘Request for Urgent Intervention by Mr. Governor on the Threat to Peace, Livability, Stability, and Security at the Maplewood Estate Oko-Oba Agege, Lagos,’ the representatives expressed their concerns regarding the behavior of Mr. Omotosho, citing issues such as refusal to pay estate security dues and operating a school in disregard of the estate’s development plan.

Engr. Omotosho has vehemently denied the claims made against him by the TRAME Executives, labeling them as a “campaign of calumny” and accusing his accusers of being “blackmailers.” The TRAME Executives, on the other hand, have presented a petition to Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, detailing their grievances and requesting urgent intervention to address the threats to peace, livability, stability, and security at Maplewood Estate in Agege, Lagos.

According to the TRAME Executives, Engr. Omotosho has been a constant source of disruption within the estate, allegedly flouting rules and regulations set by the Residents Association. They claim that he has refused to pay estate security dues and electricity development levy, operated a school against the estate’s development plan, damaged security barriers, defied court judgments, and illegally occupied land designated for a recreation ground.

Meanwhile, Engr Omotosho has already filed a petition with the commissioner of police. The commissioner has ordered a police investigation into the matter. Part of his grievance is the flooding of the school premises and unauthorized incursions into his land. He also raised concerns about the re-channeling of the drainage system, among other issues.

The ongoing conflict has divided the community and raised concerns about the future of Maplewood Estate. Residents are left grappling with the implications of the accusations and counter-accusations between Engr. Omotosho and the TRAME Executives.

As the situation continues to unfold, residents are hopeful that a resolution can be reached to restore peace and harmony within the estate. The spotlight remains on Engr. Omotosho and the TRAME Executives as they navigate this contentious dispute in Maplewood Estate.
