professional integrity. At the 2007 AGM, a
motion as passed limiting ACEN membership to

Engineering firms with the adequate experience
and commitment to continuous improvement in
technical and business integrity. Today, ACEN’s
member firms numbering over 300 are located in
the 6 geo-political zones and the FCT.

on its behalf, all consulting engineering firms in
the country. Furthermore, ACEN President now
seats on the council of COREN. Thus, ACEN is now
better positioned within the built industry.

focuses only on the business interest of Consulting
Engineering Firms and her interest is, therefore,
specific and complementary to the scope of COREN
and NSE.
