GOVERNMENT NO LONGER ENFORCE PLANNING RULE – SURVEYOR

     

The chairman of the Nigeria Institution of Surveyor, Oyo State branch, Mr. Olaribigbe Siyanbola, has blamed the relegation of professional planners on government’s failure to enforce town planning rules. He said this explained the challenges experienced by residents of many developing areas, which he likened to modern slums. Siyanbola, who spoke during the presentation of 14-seater bus, which was bought by the NIS, for the Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, The Polytechnic, Ibadan, said the gesture was important so that the school could train more surveyors. He observed that flooding and erosion would continue to be problems associated with developing areas unless the government ensure proper mapping ahead of physical environment.
