The Sectors Where Engineers are Found

by Fred Nwaozor > This classification captures the major ecosystems or sectors where professional engineers operate. What matters is how their roles shift in focus across these sectors, even though the core engineering principles remain the same. 1. Government (Policy formulation & implementation) In government, engineers function less as hands-on designers and more as technical decision-makers. They contribute to national development by shaping policies, regulations, and standards that guide engineering practice. For example, a civil or telecom engineer in a regulatory agency may help draft infrastructure policies, evaluate national projects, or enforce compliance with safety and quality standards. Their authority ensures that engineering decisions align with public interest; balancing cost, safety, sustainability, and long-term impact. Here, engineering judgment influences what gets built, how it is built, and whether it should be built at all. 2. Academia (Teach...

"We will appeal Verdict on Kanu" - Counsel

Frank Musa
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will challenge the life sentence issued against him by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

This was disclosed by his former lawyer and consultant, Aloy Ejimakor.

Kanu was on Thursday, 20th November 2025 convicted on all seven terrorism-related charges filed by the Federal Government.

Justice James Omotosho sentenced him to life imprisonment on counts one, two, four, five and six; 20 years without the option of a fine on count three; and an additional five years, also without an option of a fine, on count seven.

Court sentences Kanu to Life Imprisonment over Terrorism Conviction

Speaking with journalists after the ruling, Ejimakor said the legal team would immediately appeal the judgment. “We are heading to appeal,” he stated.

In a separate reaction posted on X, Ejimakor insisted the verdict would not stand, arguing Kanu was not a terrorist.

"The verdict & the sentence today will not stand. MAZI NNAMDI KANU is not a terrorist. NDIGBO are not terrorists. We all know who the real terrorists are, and luckily, the Americans know them too,” he wrote.

Ejimakor also faulted the court’s reliance on some of Kanu’s broadcasts, saying they were harmless and unconnected with any acts of violence.

"How can you convict a man for making mere broadcasts from a location that was never named and never tied to a single incident of violence?” he queried.

He described the judgment as lacking merit in law, logic, and fact, maintaining the defence would pursue all legal options to overturn it.
