Enugu State Government has restated its commitment to work with any professional body that would assist in the rapid development of the state.

The Governor,Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, stated this when members of Nigerian Institute of Estate Surveyors and Valuers paid him a courtesy visit adding that the state would want a hand of co-operation from the institute.

The governor described the Nigerian Institute of Estate Surveyors and Valuers as a group which falls into the category of professional bodies he seeks to interact with frequently, due to vital role that its members play in such matters as maintenance of public infrastructure/assets, custodianship of land and landed properties, land economy, resolution of land disputes, formation of land and property laws and importantly too, in employment generation.

The governor who was represented by his deputy Cecilia Ezeilo restated government’s commitment to maintaining the existing partnership with their members, especially in such areas as valuation, letting, management or disposal of government assets in the administration of tenement/property rate and in deed, any venture that would help improve and boost the practice of the profession in Enugu State.
