flouting\u00a0provisions of extant laws in Nigeria, particularly the Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria Decree No. 24 of 1975 (as it was then known) now CAP E13 LFN, 2007.&lt;\/p&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;p&gt;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The marriage of convenience between the\u00a0Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)\u00a0and estate surveyors may collapse, as the Abuja headquarters of the agency is threatening to take the land economists to court for questioning its alleged breach of professional practice.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV)\u00a0had accused\u00a0the FIRS management of flouting\u00a0provisions of extant laws in Nigeria, particularly the Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria Decree No. 24 of 1975 (as it was then known) now CAP E13 LFN, 2007.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>In the publication signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Charles Ebiai, the institution said the agency erred in the\u00a0appointment of a non-estate surveying and valuation company to carry out valuation of corporate properties in FCT, Abuja and other major cities in Nigeria for the purposes of tax assessments.<\/p>\n<p>On the part of NIESV leadership, the battle line seems to have been drawn as the President, Dr. Bolarinde Patunola-Ajayi declined comment on the issue.\u00a0Another estate surveyor, Mr. Sola Enitan hinted that the institution might consider taking its case to the public complaints commission, judiciary and National Assembly to seek redress.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>He said: \u201cThe FIRS has done unconstitutional things, with respect to the valuation they have done in recent times, they stand in the breach of the Bureau of Public Procurement Act .\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe letter is absolutely in a bad taste. I don\u2019t think estate surveyors in Nigeria will take the matter lightly. It is unfortunate, this impunity of public servants in Nigeria. For somebody to say, you can use anybody to do consultancy work, we\u2019re shocked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/surveyors-firs-on-collision-course-over-valuation-breach\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV)\u00a0had accused\u00a0the FIRS management of flouting\u00a0provisions of extant laws &hellip; <a title=\"Surveyors, FIRS on  collision course over  valuation breach\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/surveyors-firs-on-collision-course-over-valuation-breach\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Surveyors, FIRS on  collision course over  valuation breach<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5072,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[132,1263,522,41,12,15307],"class_list":["post-5071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-commission","tag-irs","tag-nigeria","tag-property","tag-surveyor","tag-ulta"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/REVENUE-2.jpg?fit=1280%2C721&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
