BENIN—THE Nigeria Institute of Estate Surveyors and Valuers, NIESV, has admonished the National Assembly to seriously consider amendment of the Land Use Act in the proposed review of the 1999 constitution.

While NIESV declared its intention to fight against quackery in the profession, it regretted that it had been difficult to amend that portion of the constitution which, according to it, had made it difficult to embark on land reform and creation of wealth.

President of NIESV, Mr. Emeka Eleh, made the appeal in Benin City, shortly after he led his group on a  courtesy call on the Oba of Benin to intimate him of their National Council meeting in Benin City.

Disclosing their intention to hold their 43rd Annual Conference in March, 2013, in Benin City, Mr. Eleh said:  “We have already submitted a position paper on the on-going constitution review. We want the Land Use Act removed from the constitution because being in the constitution makes it difficult to amend. It is because that law is in the constitution that it has been difficult to amend. “
