❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I remember her in 2007 together with Eng. Giselle in project called Kabuga Hill side Estate executed by Real Cons. that time she was very cooperative and so calm ever and very Understanding than other Engineers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Rnziza3811]

Absolutely not. She doesn't create any sketches or structural designs. Architects and contractors are not mentioned here, but supervisors on the client's side are. You're exaggerating her role as the engineering mastermind behind a landmark building. We clearly have a lot to learn about these matters.

[@RugiraKagigiMutoka]

Indeed there’s a narrative being pushed. She was rather in managerial position

[@lutaayam]

Lol, thanks for shading some light

[@RugiraKagigiMutoka]

@@alan.imangue "Following up on the project." From my understanding, unlike what the title suggests, she served as a liaison between the company (the customer) and the contractors (the real masterminds).

[@carinebanks8222]

So sad as soon as an African is up, here comme someone to put her down, shame on u! Did she said she design or was a contractor nope…. If u listen she was in the project management team.

[@lutaayam]

@@carinebanks8222 the caption is misleading though, “female engineering maestro”

[@DMulabiTalejan]

But where is the building... you did not even show it

[@elsaruhaya385]

You are very smart my sister 😘

[@wn3408]

OK congratulations to her but I still don't get anything from this interview...is she the one who designed the building or what ?? what was her role ? because i am still confused..

[@mwenengofero]

You have to read the article on the New Times website. She was the Project Manager during construction, meaning she was coordinating the work of the various construction teams, architects, vendors, etc.. She didn't have anything to do with the design or even planning of the project.

[@wn3408]

@@mwenengoferoah ok. that makes sense. thanks for the clarification...

[@emmanuelbyiringiro7207]

The credit belongs to the architect, not the Project Manager. Local media turns into feminism propaganda

[@wn3408]

@@emmanuelbyiringiro7207 hahaha. I guess directing the project is still quite laudable. it's just if you watch the interview before you know anything, you would think she is the designer with the word "engineer maestro" in the title

[@elt7219]

For clicks, they will do anything. A project manager is way way different from an architect designer. We still have a long way to go with integrity.

[@Rnziza3811]

In Rwanda, even brokers often call themselves engineers or doctors, and journalists are considered professionals. It's difficult to distinguish between different careers and professions.

[@Kivuyetu223]

I need the contact of her office so they can help me work on the green energy and the design to collect rain water and treat the water to be used please connect me with her thanks

[@kayitaregisapatrick5481]

Wow just wowo

[@kalisanicolas3463]

So how does being girl student require you to work double, just because you’re girl? Even if I’m a pro girlf empowerment i’m still confused!

[@MyJireh17]

Just because it is a male dominated field, unfortunately. Data is available if you are interested in educating yourself in the matter.

[@serwegaruhiryi766]

i'm also wondering the same but who knows , so they sat for a different exam or ?

[@eaglei2143]

It's psychologically damaging and/or more demanding to be in any position if you are extremely outnumbered in a field including work, study etc. either by age, gender or race/ethnicity. You won't know unless you are in that position. It's not just about pass or fail. Or doing the job. Socio-cultural factors plays a big role in life choices/results.

[@User02-fk1re]

@@MyJireh17 look at this🤣🤣 and how does that make the job double on her??🤣

[@MyJireh17]

@@User02-fk1re Please educate yourself. Don't just debunk before doing your homework.

[@alphadee9021]

I thought she is an architect or a designer. Hahahahahahahaha

The title says engineer😏
