Give us a board now – Engineers to Akufo-Addo

Members of the Institution of Engineering and Technology Ghana (IET Ghana) have entreated President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to constitute a Governing Board for the Engineering Council of Ghana (ECGh) without further delay after failure to inaugurate the board in the past two years.

The said Board is the sole regulator of all engineering service providers including contractors in Ghana.

According to IET Ghana, the deliberate feet-dragging attitude of government machinery to constitute the Board after dissolution of the immediate past board takes away the power to grant licenses to professional engineers.

In an exclusive interview with Class FM’s Jerry Akornor, Executive Secretary of IET Ghana Ing. Emmanuel Wilberforce Kwaku Donkor called on the presidency to take action immediately.

“Since 2017 we've already nominated people to form the Board and I don’t know what is holding back the government from forming the Board,” he said.
