NIESV Set To Tackle Quackery
The Nigeria Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), says it is set to tackle quacks in the practice of estate management.
President of the association, Emeka Eleh gave this indication while addressing students of the Department of Estate Management, Rivers State University of Science and Technology when he paid them a visit.
Dr Eleh, stated that quackery was a problem that they had had to contend with for a long time and added that the association was making move to legislate a law against it.
He noted that the association was also making move to register an agency for estate agents.
According to him, “our idea is to create a body for estate agencies so that those who want to practice estate agency can register with that body, with minimum qualifications and training”.
He expressed regrets that “even educated people would leave professionals and deal with no-professionals”.
He advised that people should always deal with professionals, saying, “I dare say that it is easier to deal with professionals there’ll be no expense unless a deal is done, but with quacks, you pay all sorts of fees, besides that we are cheaper and where you feel short changed, you have a recourse to come back to us and report to us and our professional practice committee would sanction such erring member”.
Dr Eleh also charged the students to develop learning habits to put them ahead of their fellow students and create impact in the society, while urging them to take full advantage of the association’s mentoring scheme to enable them excel in their chosen profession.
On his part, the Chairman of the Rivers State branch of the association, Mr Emma Wike, expressed delight that government was realising the importance of bringing professionals into land matters and expressed the hope that their suggestions would be put to good use.
He charged members of the association to, “follow the ethics of the profession, try as much as possible to guarantee client satisfaction and always remember the motto of the association, which is honesty and devotion”.
Commenting on the challenges facing the Department of Estate Management, former Head of Department of Estate Management, Mr Moses Baridoma, lamented the dearth of infrastructure and manpower, which he said posed a great challenge to the study and teaching of Estate Survey.
