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.
