Ogun Calls On Surveyors To Maintain Ethical Standards

The Ogun State branch of the Association of Private Practicing Surveyors of Nigeria has urged its newly registered members to maintain ethical standards and embrace digital transformation.

It also urged the new members to adhere to the recommended scale of fees, in order to uphold professionalism and promote integrity in the field.

The Chairman of APPSN, Ogun State chapter, Kayode Adekoya, who spoke at an annual seminar organised for newly registered surveyors, said the aim of the seminar is to ensure that the new members start their practice on a good note by adhering to ethical standards of the profession.

In his goodwill message, the Chairman of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors, Adebowale Ademola, urged new members to avoid unethical practices that can tarnish their reputation and that of the profession.

Adebowale emphasised the need to think beyond personal interests and consider the collective benefits of the profession in their daily survey transactions, as sacrificing ethics for short-term material gains would negatively impact the profession.

In his keynote address, the  Ogun State Surveyor-General, Oladele Ewulo, expressed concern over the declining rate of job opportunities for surveyors.
