The new executive committee of the Kwara State branch of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors has cautioned the state government on the enactment of laws that could put surveying and related works in jeopardy in the state.

The new leadership of the state branch of NIS gave the advice at the inauguration of its executive committee.

The vice Chairman of NIS, Ishola Issa, who spoke on behalf of the Chairman, Adewale Lere, said the state should ensure it investigates what the federal laws say and consider best advice from the appropriate quarters before enacting state laws on surveying and other related matters.

He urged the Nigerian Bar Association in the state to advise the government and the state house of assembly on the laws they make.

Issa enjoined surveyors in the state to always be guided by the ethics of the profession saying this was important in view of the significance of surveying in infrastructural constructions.

In his speech at the occasion, the Surveyor-General of the state, Ibrahim Mohammed, charged the new committee to be up and doing and ensure it surpasses the achievements of its predecessor.

The immediate past chairman of the institution, Buhari Eletu, enjoined the new leaders to carry along all members of the institution to enable them to run a successful administration.
