Osun Surveyors Task Aregbesola On Housing

Osun State governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has been urged to introduce a housing policy that would further enhance his efforts to urbanise the state.

The call was contained in a congratulatory message sent to the governor for his re-election by the state branch of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV). The group also called on the governor to consider the introduction of property rate to widen source of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state.

The group’s message, a copy of which was made available to Saturday Mirror, was signed by its Chairman and Public Relations Officer, Dr Oluseyi Adegoke and Tunde Oladokun, respectively.

The group commended Governor Aregbesola for breaking new grounds in terms of provision of infrastructure in his first term, urging him to raise the bar in his second term in office.

It also hailed the state government for transforming the Osun State especially in the areas of road construction, saying that the present administration has opened up many towns and cities in the state.

The group also urged the state government to patronise local professionals who are based in the state and expressed its readiness to partner with him for the overall development of the state.

It also stated readiness to work with the state government in the areas of land acquisition and compensation valuation among others.
