NIESV PRESIDENT ATTENDS STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP ON VALIDATION OF NATIONAL HOUSING DATA PROGRAMME, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO PARTNER WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

The President and Chairman of Council, Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), ESV (Mallam) BATURE Ali Muhammad, PNIVS, FCAI, MIFMA, MIRWA, AIMC, AMIMN, pslc has reaffirmed that Nigeria’s housing challenge can only be addressed through timely, accurate and reliable data generated by Estate Surveyors and Valuers.

Speaking at the Stakeholders Workshop which began 28th July 2026 in Abuja on the Validation of the National Housing Data Programme’s Report and the Regulation of the Built Environment, organised by the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (FMHUD), the President commended the Honourable Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Engr. Muttaqha Rabe Darma, PhD, for convening the timely workshop.

He noted that the workshop is expected to determine pivotal changes in the Built Environment and provide innovative, all encompassing policy, development and regulatory solutions for the housing sector.

“The core competency of Estate Surveying and Valuation, Land Administration, Appraisal, Property/Facility Management, Sales, Acquisition, Relocation, Space Management..... has positioned our members to provide the credible data required for policy formulation and property market operations,” he stated.

The President, further observed that previous figures quoted as Nigeria’s housing deficit lacked empirical evidence and could not be substantiated or used as working documents for policy implementation. He expressed his confidence that the workshop would produce strategic policies to enhance the regulatory framework and strengthen the National housing database.

To strengthen the NHDP, the Institution (NIESV) proposed 10 key policy actions that includes; a National Digital Property Register, Quarterly National House Price, Rental Indices, Housing Affordability, Vacancy Surveys, Digital Property Identification System, Annual Housing Market Report, Integration of AI and GIS in data collection, and Legislative backing to ensure continuity and sustainability.

He further reiterated the Institutions' (NIESV) alignment with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Housing Agenda and the Institution’s readiness to partner with Government and Critical Stakeholders in the Real Estate Sector. He said, “Estate Surveyors and Valuers remain key critical stakeholders whose professional expertise and technical knowledge can be relied upon to obtain workable data for Nigeria’s Housing Sector and Update same at regular intervals”.

The President also disclosed that NIESV has already kickstarted a similar housing data programme, with the Abuja Branch currently working to produce data for the FCT. He invited all stakeholders to collaborate with our Institution to actualise a well defined and regulated housing sector.

“With reliable data and professional expertise, we can build a housing sector that is transparent, resilient, and investment friendly'' the President concluded.
