Revisiting Institutional Memory and Professional Knowledge: The CORFEPS Journal

Nigeria’s rich history of professional knowledge and institutional memory has gained a significant boost with the publication of the CORFEPS Journal. The Journal, a product of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), serves as a critical resource for engineers, policymakers, and researchers alike, offering insights into various aspects of engineering practice in the country. The Journal’s importance lies in its role as a repository of knowledge, capturing the experiences, challenges, and innovations that have shaped Nigeria’s engineering landscape over the years. According to the New Times Newspaper, the latest issue of the Journal focuses on ‘The Role of Institutional Memory in Sustainable Development.’ This theme underscores the Journal’s relevance in driving sustainable development by preserving and disseminating valuable knowledge. As Nigeria continues to grapple with developmental challenges, the CORFEPS Journal stands as a beacon of professional knowledge, providing a platform for dialogue and learning. The Journal’s impact extends beyond the engineering community, offering valuable insights into Nigeria’s developmental trajectory and the role of knowledge management in shaping a sustainable future for the nation. Despite its significance, the Journal faces challenges in terms of visibility and accessibility, limiting its potential impact. Efforts to address these challenges could include increased promotion, digital access, and collaboration with other knowledge institutions.
