Members of the newly inaugurated council at the Federal ministry of Works and Housing Abuja at the ceremony
Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has charged members of the newly inaugurated Surveyors Council of Nigeria (SURCON), to improve the Nigeria’s Geo-spatial asset for national development.
He said this, when he inaugurated the 59-member Council drawn from all states of the federation and the FCT as well as some universities across Nigeria.
According to him, the Council has a responsibility to improve the quantity and quality of geospatial data.
“The government can vouch for the qualification of the members of the Council because they were carefully selected but their ego could not be ascertained by government and the same, must be tamed by the Surveyors to effectively discharge their duties and improve the quality of survey services in Nigeria,” Fashola told the surveyor council members
He told the surveyors that they hold an important space in their profession as they would rely upon your expertise to vet personnel into the field and reminded them that their place was to be fair just as they had expected years ago when they sought the favour of the Council.
His words: “This is tied to serve our country. All of you her must be reminded that you represent only a small member of the hundreds of millions of whoever got appointed to this kind of thing.
“I want to impress that on all of you that it is an opportunity that is very rare to be appointed by the president of a country to serve in this particular capacity.
“You will develop Nigeria, prepare the next generation of people just as some people 40 or 50 years ago did, those people have left that mandate to prepare the next generation to you and it will remain this way.
The newly inaugurated President of the Surveyor, Clement Nwadichie assured the minister that the Council would ensure an effective, efficient and qualitative sector in the next three years as they man their duties.
