Housing Ministry Seeks Professional Inputs
As part of efforts to bring sanity into the construction environment in Rivers State, the Ministry of Housing, has urged the state branch of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) to make their professional inputs into the polices of the ministry.
The Commissioner for Houseing in the State, Mr Marshall Uworm who made the call during the Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (MCPD) 2012 of the Institution in Port Harcourt with the theme “Valuation in the Oil and Gas Industry” noted that such event organised by the institution would help to bring sanity to the housing sector.
Represented by the director of Research in the Ministry, Elder J. Isaiah, the Commissioner said “I see what we are doing here today as one of the things that will help us sanitise the build industry.”
“We need your professional input in our ministry, and whenever we call you please come, because there is need for proper synergy among professionals in the housing sector. There has to be a paradigm shift in the planning and execution of public sector engagement, the commissioner stated.
He also explained that the ministry of housing had inaugurated a committee comprising all chairmen of professional bodies in the build industry in Rivers State to create understanding and synergy among stakeholders in the sector.
