Builders induct new fellows, harp on professionalism

The Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB) has challenged new fellows to live up to high expectations of the society. NIOB president, Mr. Kunle Awobodu and the Chairman of its College of Fellows, Mrs. Adebolanle Araba gave the charge at the first ever virtual induction of members into the fellowship cadre of the institute.

The builders stated that safeguarding society’s interest in construction, maintenance and preservation of building stock remains a logical expectation of Nigerians.
 
Awobodu said the society stands to gain optimally from their services since building production management is a distinct service rendered by professional builders. 

Araba, reminded the inductees that they were   joining the cadre of the finest minds and most experienced hands in the building profession warning that their admission into the College of Fellows, should not be seen from a cosmetic and superficial perspective but one, with onerous responsibility.

Others participants are the traditional ruler, the Alayandelu of Odo-Ayandelu Kingdom, Lagos state, Oba  Ganiyu Asunmo Aderibigbe, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Prof. Deji Ogunsemi, Prof. Godwin Idoro of the Department of Building, University of Lagos,  Prof. Shehu Bustani of Bayero University Kano; Prof. Kelvin Okolie of Nnamdi Azikwe University,  Awka, and Mr. Odumbaku Wilson of the Abuja Chapter of the NIOB and others.
