The president said the association was poised to bridge the numerical gap of women in engineering, noting that there are few women in engineering not because of their inability to surmount the rigour of engineering education but due to the mindset.
She explained that the association had distributed scholarship to some school girls in Maiduguri where it secured fresh sponsorship for 300 girls to study engineering.
