According to him, estate valuers\/surveyors are land economists, who are professionally trained for proper analyses on lands, budgets and other related matters.<\/p>\n

Ukpong said that the appointment\/establishment of the Office of Valuer-General in all the States was important to add value of landed property. He stated that a lot of land in the country were dead property, while there were professional estate valuers and surveyors who could.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the establishment of the Office of the Valuer-General, the issue of false declaration of assets, embezzlement of funds<\/a> and stealing will properly be addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the landed property in the country has an economic value, which can be developed through the help of the Valuer-General,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The NIESV boss added that it was the duty of the Valuer-General to do proper assessment of lands to ensure that citizens give true declaration of their assets.<\/p>\n

Ukpong stressed that estate valuers\/ surveyors were professionally learned to interpret figures and issues relating to budgets in particular and the economy in general.<\/p>\n

The NIESV official noted that the dwindling economy of the country was as a result of the fact that relevant professionals were not always consulted in decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are concerned about the economic situation of the country and how to improve it. \u201cIt is time the government appoints Estate Valuers and Surveyors as ministers and commissioners, for effective promotion of growth and development in the country,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
