“The board had been strengthened to further meet, amongst other things, the application of digital technology innovation in the practice, which the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola emphasized during our induction (inauguration of a 22-member board) ceremony. We will explore all avenues to promote professionalism,” he said.

“We have kick off our mandate as is statutorily provided in our enabling Act, hoping that the first point of attention will be ensuring infrastructural growth”, the Chairman added.
