The newly posted Chief Resident Surveyors (CRS) have been charged to explore untapped income avenues in their various states of posting and  provide surveying and mapping services and products at reasonable prices.

 The Surveyor-General of the Federation (SGOF), Ebisintei Awudu,  gave the  charge  during his inaugural meeting with newly posted chief resident surveyors to the 36 states of the federation.

He said: “We have given ourselves a target revenue, so all hands must be on deck to ensure its realization.”

He enjoined them to be professional and proactive in their new areas of jurisdiction and to liaise with the surveyors general of their various states on possible areas of collaboration with OSGOF.

According to him, all the areas of leakage that hitherto hindered increased revenue for the office would be blocked. 

Awudu said  the meeting was called to give the chief resident surveyors the vision of the office and reposition their mindset with a view to promoting sustainable national development. 

The surveyor-general further charged the resident surveyors to carry out an inventory of all landed properties of the office in their various states, stressing that such documentation would empower the office to take useful decisions on the properties.

Responding, the Chief Resident Surveyor, Ekiti State,  Aeren Shinge, noted that  the meeting was an avenue for the CRS to brainstorm with their zonal directors on the way forward and  showed the readiness of the present OSGOF to revive the field offices.
