From 1890 to 1893, Herbert Macaulay was in Plymouth, England, studying not only civil engineering but architecture and surveying, including railway surveying. • • On December 5, 1893, Macaulay became the first Nigerian to qualify as a civil engineer and was admitted as a member of the British Institution of Civil Engineers, a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, as well as a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. • However, when his lecturer at Plymouth, Mr. G.D Bellamy recommended Macaulay for further training in civil engineering, the colonial government in Lagos denied him that opportunity. • On his return to Lagos, the government made him a surveyor of Crown lands in Lagos; however, he soon became dissatisfied with the conditions of his employment as he was put on a salary scale of £90 to 150 pounds per annum while a British civil servant junior to him in the same department earned £250 per annum. • Thus, in 1898, after only five years in government service, Macaulay decided to go into private practice as a licensed surveyor, architect, and civil engineer. He never worked for the government again. He was only 34. #HistoryVille • Join this channel to become a member: https://www.youtube.com/HistoryVille/... • Get Ayomide Akinbode's latest historical novels on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Ayomide-Akinbo... • Subscribe to HistoryVille: https://www.youtube.com/HistoryVille?... • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Follow us on Social Media: • Facebook: / thehistoryville • Instagram: / historyville • Twitter: / thehistoryville • LinkedIn: / historyville • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • For interesting historical articles visit: • https://www.thehistoryville.com
