Kingsley U.N. Chikwendu —

The Nigerian Government has urged Estate Surveyors and Valuers to at all times, have the development of the country and the interest of its citizens at heart when evaluating land or other assets.

Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Works and Housing while making this disclosure at the inauguration of a 22-member board of the Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria (ESVARBON) in Abuja, said the Act establishing the body has a far- reaching consequence, especially on land administration.

“The way they value land and assets should be in the best interest of professionals, government and stakeholders, the Minister said.

“It will contribute to national development because, land is at the center of all things”
