A COREN registered Civil Engineer, who is also a member of NSE is expected to registered
with not more than three divisions in his area of practice.
Examples of these divisions for a Civil Engineer are : Geotechnical Division, Nigerian
Institution of Civil Engineers(NICE) Division, Nigerian Institution of Structural
Engineers(NISTRUCT.E) Division, Environment Division, and Water Division.
At the international level, we have divisions like:
South African Institution Of Civil Engineering (SAICE), Canadian Society for Civil Engineering,
American Society of Civil Engineers, Institution of Civil Engineers (India) (ICE(I), Philippine Institute of
Civil Engineers (PICE), Pakistan Geotechnical Engineering Society (PGES).

Nigerian Institution of Civil Engineers (NICE)

N.I.C.E is an acronym for the Nigerian Institution of Civil Engineers.

NICE is a division of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, the umbrella body for all engineers
in Nigeria. In an effort to promote understanding among members, the Nigerian Society of
Engineers (NSE) encouraged the formation of Divisions along disciplinary lines. The Civil
Engineering Division was approved in 1984 by the NSE Council. The mantle on nurturing
and coordinating the activities of the Division fell on the Rev. Canon Engr. M. O. Akintobi
FNSE, who worked very hard to scale through th initial hurdle of generating the interest of
members in the Division. In December 2001, the Civil Division was institutionalized by the
common will of all Civil Engineers in Port Harcourt. Engr. Segun Adedeji then became the
Pioneer Chairman. The head of the Division was upgraded to President at an Annual AGM of
the Institution in September 2003, with Engr. Chief Adefemi Kila as the first President. The
Division has since 1984 been steered by Past Chairmen who have contributed their best to
ensuring appreciable growth. It is through their collective efforts that the Division has grown
to its present status as a foremost Division/Institution of the Nigerian Society of Engineers.
