ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY: A KEY FOR SECURITY AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

Engineering is one of the most effective human resource developments that needs to be accepted completely for quick industrialization, security, and sustainable economic development of our nation, Nigeria. Engineering technology has been a component of national economic development and society because of its impacts on infrastructure, environmental conservation, and security. This paper examined the prominent role played by engineering technology in security and sustainable economic development. Its primary focus is that engineering technology is the major determinant of security and sustainable development. The paper also examined the impacts of engineering technology on sustainable economic development, such as in environmental protection, community development, agricultural mechanization, health, electricity, and automobiles and aeronautics, etc. The factors that affect engineering technology in security and sustainable economic development in Nigeria, such as corruption, lack of peace and security, lack of rule of law, lack of adequate training facilities and equipment, inadequate funding, lack of training and retraining of engineers, and government policy on engineering education were examined. Among the recommendations made by the authors as a catalyst for our nation's development and security were the following: the fight against these factors that impede sustainable development; the inclusion of more engineers in policy-making bodies; and the training and re-training of engineers.
