Whenever there is any problem, they come to us and we have discovered from our findings that a number of people are doing transactions behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the institution has called on its 292 newly inducted associate members to imbibe professionalism in the practice of real estate business.<\/p>\n<p>Patunola-Ajayi, made the call in Abuja at the Associates\u2019 Induction ceremony of the institution.<\/p>\n<p>He said the induction of new members was to increase the needed number of estate surveyors and valuers providing real estate services in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresently, about 5000 members are serving over 180 million people in the country and that necessitated our eagerness to have more members to render real estate services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged the inductees to uphold the constitution and code of ethics of the institution adding that the various divisions available constitute areas of specialization in NIESV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not possible for an individual to be an expert in all the 15 divisions, so you are advised to choose a maximum of four as desired for practices.You are required to further develop your expertise in your chosen division and be informed that, as a specialist, your training and retraining in your chosen division is continuous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Guest Speaker, Hajia Fatima Olowokure said the induction was a call for greater responsibilities and urged the inductees to remain focus in the practice of the profession.<\/p>\n<p>While noting that high ethical standards, integrity and professional credibility were paramount in the profession, Olowokure said hard work and professionalism were other important prerequisites for excellence in real estate practice in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Chioma Wogu-Ogbonna, who spoke on behalf the inductees, commended the executive members of NIESV for the induction.<\/p>\n<p>She pledged that the inductee would put in their best to project the image of the institution by ensuring adherence to the code of ethics of the profession.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/niesv-tackles-money-laundering-in-real-estate-market\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director, Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Bamanga Bello &hellip; <a title=\"NIESV tackles money laundering in real estate market\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/niesv-tackles-money-laundering-in-real-estate-market\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">NIESV tackles money laundering in real estate market<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7421,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_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":[695,1399,1330,522,41,84,123,12],"class_list":["post-7420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-agent","tag-development","tag-financial","tag-nigeria","tag-property","tag-real-estate","tag-real-estate-business","tag-surveyor"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/EFCC-11-212-2017.jpg?fit=1280%2C721&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8663,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/real-estate-and-commission-agents\/","url_meta":{"origin":7420,"position":0},"title":"Real estate and Commission Agents","author":"Amazing Property","date":"June 1, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Real estate and Commission Agents:\u00a0You are in the process of trying to sell your property and have your marketing up and running.
