Stakeholders and experts in the estate surveying and valuation sector have stressed the need for professionals to keep the ethical standards and codes of their profession.

They were also urged to engage in their activities without compromising the ethics of their profession.

They said practitioners within the sector, being land managers and valuation experts, should tighten the loose ends in their profession to lift the nation in revenue generation, which ultimately will boost the economy.

The stakeholders took this position at the Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria (ESVARBON) 2022 Valuers’ Assembly held in Abuja, according to the communique made available to our correspondent.

Some of the speakers at the event, though agreed that estate surveyors and valuers have a huge role in nation building, said there was the need to improve on some aspects of their regulations.

Speaking on the theme of the event, ‘The Role Of Professional Ethics In Nation Building: Estate Surveying And Valuation Profession In Mind’, the registration board’s chairman, Gersh Henshaw, assured that as a foremost regulatory body of the valuation and property profession, ESVARBON shall not relent in promoting best practices of the profession anchored on sound ethical standards, rules and regulations.

He said the board would continue to deepen societal awareness of the profession and roles of estate surveyors and valuers.

Dr Christopher Kolade, who noted that no nation can grow beyond the value it places on its code and ethical practices, said estate surveyors and valuers must do everything in line with their codes of practice.

He stated that the professional values and ethical principles in the code should be the way of life of estate surveyors and valuers, not only in their estate surveying and valuation work, but also in any other activity upon which they embark in their life.
