The National President of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), Dr Bolarinwa Patunla-Ajayi, has disclosed that the management of the institution will use all tricks in the box to rid the profession of quacks and intensify disciplinary procedures to checkmate fraudulent practices among members.
Mr Patunola-Ajayi further posited that like any other serious-minded leader, he was concerned with the proliferation of quacks in the real estate management profession, saying his administration would leave no stone unturned in weeding them (as well as the bad eggs), out of the profession.
He made this known in a recent interview with the media, where he also disclosed that the institution would work at ways of encouraging the formation of mega estate surveying and valuation firms to enhance better productivity of members.
“We must all know that there are quacks in every profession, so estate surveying and valuation is not an exception.
“But we will leave no stone unturned in ridding the profession of quackery, especially in the estate agency area to restore peoples’ lost confidence thereby boosting general perception about estate management practice in the country,” he said.
The NIESV further added that one key way the practice of estate surveying and valuation would be empowered in the country was for two or more practising firms to come together to form mega practising firms that would be able to achieve much more.
He pointed out that NIESV under his leadership was taking this step in response to the rising need in the country to create estate surveying and valuation firms that not only would serve the nation better, but which would also compare with those of other nations of the world.
