Patronise registered surveyors APPSN urge residents


The Association of Private Practising Surveyors of Nigeria (APPSN) Lagos Chapter has charged its members to improve their knowledge of surveying practices. 


The body pledged to strengthen advocacy efforts aimed at educating the public on the benefits of patronizing Registered Surveyors. 


The call was made during the swearing-in of new Executive Council Members at the 2025 Annual General Meeting and Luncheon with the theme: ''Unlock The Untapped Potential in Surveying Profession''.


Ibikunle Adaranijo, the Chairman of APPSN, Lagos Chapter, said that the new excos will develop a new strategic plan which will guide the activities and initiatives of the association for the next two years.


Adaranijo noted that to build a stronger more prudent association that services and advances the interest of the profession, APPSN Lagos Chapter will invest more in training and workshop programmes for its members.


The guest speaker, Olugbenga Adekoya, identified slow technological adoption, expanding the scope of services, continuous education and training, collaboration and networking as well as branding and reputation management as factors limiting the Profession. 



He also talked about the need for advocacy and public awareness and the enhancement of our professionalism and ethics. 




Adekoya noted that many surveyors still rely on outdated equipment or methods thereby limiting efficiency and also the scope of services.




He encouraged members of the Association to extensively adopt the modern technologies and conform to the reputation and perfect image of the Surveying Profession.


The newly sworn-in Chairman of APPSN, Lagos Chapter, Olaoluwa Afolabi pledged to enforce discipline among members and enhance robust collaboration among the association's sub-groups and the parent body’s in a bid to lift the profession to enviable heights. 




He also expressed optimism that his tenure would foster peace and unity among members.
