Association of Private Practising Surveyors of Nigeria (APPSN) has charged members to be more proactive, blaming them for low patronage against non-professionals.
Speaking at the opening of the national conference of the association in Ilorin at the weekend, its national chairman, Surveyor Yomi Bobadoye, told surveyors to rise up to defend standards and take back their jobs from quacks claiming to be doing survey jobs under every pretence.
“The lack of surveying jobs for surveyors in Nigeria is the fault of surveyors. We have to take our destiny into our hands. We should take our jobs from the charlatans doing our jobs under whatever names. As geospatial experts, we should defend the quality, resolution and standard of data collected, knowing full well that wrong data processed will give wrong information,” he said.
