Association of Private Practising Surveyors of Nigeria (APPSN) has charged members to rise up to defend standards and take back their jobs from quacks claiming to be doing survey jobs under pretence. Speaking at the opening of the national conference of the association in Ilorin at the weekend, its national chairman, Mr Yomi Bobadoye, said that surveyors in the country should be more proactive, blaming them for low patronage against non-professionals. “The lack of surveying jobs for surveyors in Nigeria is the fault of surveyors. The National Chairman disclosed that his executive has raised the bar of survey practice in Nigeria with the enactment of new guidelines on survey practice by SURCON, assuring his colleagues that the guidelines would be properly and effectively implemented in order to move survey practice forward in the country. “Some state governments have taken over our work by engaging other means of getting survey plans for Certificate of Occupancy, other than from surveyors.
