'The future of Liberia, and indeed Africa, lies in the hands of Engineers who are committed to innovative, sustainable, and impactful solutions.

"By leveraging technology, fostering partnerships, and embracing forward-thinking policies, we can build a resilient and prosperous Liberia.

"Engineers must not only be problem-solvers but also visionary leaders who anticipate future challenges and create solutions today.

"As we look ahead, I urge Engineers, policymakers, academia, and the private sector to work collaboratively in harnessing Engineering excellence for national development.

"Let us embrace our responsibility to innovate, to lead, and to transform our societies through sustainable Engineering solutions.

Oguntala also participated in a panel discussion with the topic "The Role of Female Engineers in Driving Sustainable Infrastructure Development in Africa".

In the panel, she explained how she championed gender inclusion in engineering.

She called for mentorship programs, policy support, and expanded opportunities for female engineers to contribute to Africa’s infrastructural transformation.

The 7th ESOL Annual Conference provided a platform for meaningful discussions on Engineering’s role in shaping Africa’s future.

NSE President's participation reaffirmed NSE’s commitment to fostering knowledge exchange and strengthening Engineering ties between Nigeria and Liberia while driving sustainable development across the continent.
