The Federal Capital Territory branch of The Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) have called for their inclusion in the different Ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDAs) of government so as to contribute their input for better operations and building survey around the country.
In a statement, the Institution’s Public Relations Officer, ESV Lansar Aghaji said there is little or no presence of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (ESVs) at the federal ministries especially at directorate levels which is not appropriate as they are integral part of functions of government in the aspect of survey and value of lands.
"When you look at the federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government today, you hardly find a substantive director in the ministry who is an estate surveyor and Valuer," the statement said
The statement added that the inability of a synergy between the Institution and the various departments of government has been a major setback for their impact to be felt in the FCT and environs.
The Institution expressed their readiness to partner with the government and other agencies in ensuring their inputs are reflected in activities of governance for effective strategy, planning and execution of projects especially in the FCT where the branch operates.
