Surveyors in Delta State have been charged to uphold the ethics of their profession so they can be taken seriously in society.
The Secretary to State Government (SSG), Dr. Kingsley Emu, gave the charge yesterday when members of the Nigerian Institute of Surveyors, Delta State Chapter, paid him a courtesy visit in his office.
The SSG stated that the role surveyors play in society could not be overemphasized, saying that they provide professional advice on a range of construction-related matters and if not adhered to, could lead to serious damage to lives and property.
He assured that the administration of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori would engage the state chapter of the institution in carrying out the mapping of the state in order to have a master plan for the state.
In his remarks, the state chairman of the institute, Mr. Franklin Nwaobi said they were in the office of the SSG to brief him on their activities and to seek partnership with the state government in the area of professional advice to government.
