 A non-business use illegal state government has called for a review of 1962 surveyors act for better infrastructural planning and development. Special advice to the governor Babajideh Sanwolu on works and infrastructure, Aramide Adeyoyo, spoke while delivering a keynote address at the Medin National Conference of the Association of Private Practicing Surveyors of Nigeria. It was noted that surveyors are indispensable experts needed for accuracy infrastructure planning and development across all sectors of the nation. The way the world is moving, I urge all of you in this professional body to rise up to the occasion, to make sure that as a state, as a center of excellence, we can indeed move the frontiers of this practice. I keep telling people the way we practice the engineering and all other professional, allied professions, the world is moving beyond this. What exactly are we doing? What legacy are we giving to the next generation? What are we doing in that regard? With ongoing construction of the regional road in Lekikoridong, the Kwaibemende link bridge and the Fort Millan bridge is about to commence. Opportunities are bound for members of your association to render quality services for the vast estates and communities that will be created through this project. As an association of private practicing surveyors, I urge you to leverage on the excellent work your colleagues are doing present in government and to establish strategic partnerships and collaboration towards the advancement of your profession. She also told the gathering that Lagos State Government was opening new frontiers in the use of new technology. You can collaborate with government, with approval processes, private practice surveyors when we get surveys that are not flown. You know when you give approvals and you fly your surveys and it's not the real survey and we submit it for approvals. So it makes right of way acquisition difficult because even when gazettes are done with the real survey and when you grant approvals, the same government grants approval on the basis of something that was falsely done. It compounds the problem. It makes growth, you stifle, what we do is we end up stifling growth. We do not know that we are inadvertently we are inhibiting our own growth ourselves and that's why my appeal to us as a professional body is to go back in words and decide to do things ethically right so that this state and many others can move forward.
