The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB) said it would deploy technology to checkmate the raising incidents of building collapse in the territory.
The Chairman of NIOB, Builder Peter Omale, who was elected at the weekend in Abuja, said the growing incidents of building collapse were a challenge which the FCT chapter of the institute was poised to address using technology.
“We will explore modern technologies and e-building in enhancing professionalism in the sector and as part of efforts to end building collapse, especially in Abuja, we are going to embark on massive training of builders.
“We are also going to pay advocacy and create awareness on building and builders. We are going to bring back pride in the building profession, this is because a lot of builders address themselves as engineers but this is wrong,” he said.
Omale was elected alongside Isiaka Oladele, Vice Chairman; Wilson Odunmbaku and Usman Abdulmumini, Secretary.
Other include Abdulsalam Kabir, Financial Secretary; Regina Tanko, Treasurer; John Bawa, Welfare Secretary; and Bayo Adelakun, Publicity Secretary.
