Council of Mining Engineers and Geoscientists ::.. The gigantic growth of the Membership of the Society and the ever increasing interests in the Wealth of the Earth Made it necessary to regulate the standards of practice of geoscientists and mining engineers, to register qualified members and discipline erring ones.
The mining engineers and geoscientists' decree 40, of 1990, mandated the establishment of a council, which is expected to monitor the conditions set out in the decree, in addition to regulating the practice of mining and geoscientists in the country.
Membership of the NMGS has therefore become imperative for any one practising the profession and /or establishing a mineral based concern in the country. Council of NMGS ::.. The affairs of the Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society are managed by a council, consisting of executive, ordinary, Ex-oficio, institutional, affiliate members as well as fellows' representatives.
The executive is elected annually, and it is composed of a President, 2 Vice Presidents, General Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Editor in Chief, Treasurer, Fin. Secretary, the Publicity Secretary, the Immediate past president and the Distinguished Lectureship Programme (DLP) Chairman.
The president, as the chief executive officer of the society, is responsible for the management of the business and affairs of the society.
Council meetings are held in different locations within the country. It has thus been possible to bring the society in touch with not only the highest authorities in the land but also to the grassroots as well.
