Brong-Ahafo inaugurates Association of Quantity Surveyors

Mr Daniel Kofi Kyere, National President of Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS), has appealed to members to endeavour to entice more surveyors into their fold.

He noted that quantity surveyors played an important role in national development and urged them to forge ahead towards a formidable institution.

Mr Kyere made the appeal when inaugurating the Brong-Ahafo Regional Association of Quantity Surveying Division of GhIS in Sunyani at the weekend.

It was on the theme: “The State of the Ghana Institution of Surveyors”.

He said efforts were being made by the leadership to ensure the promulgation of the Survey Council Bill into law, currently under consideration at Cabinet level.

Mr Kyere explained that the Bill, when promulgated into law, would guide their operations and the surveying profession in the country.

“The Institution is now fully fledged in the training of members to build their capacity to generate income and make them relevant to national development,” he added.

Mr Isaac Abbarm, Brong-Ahafo Regional Chairman of Quantity Surveying Division of GhIS, appealed to the Brong-Ahafo Regional Coordinating Council (RCC), to ensure every municipal or district assembly had a professional quantity surveyor on their tender committees and review boards for effective and efficient operations.

The seven-member regional executive committee, sworn into office by Mr Kyere, are Mr Isaac Abbarm, Chairman, Mr Patrick Fiadjoe, Vice-Chairman, Ms Helena Nimo, Secretary, Mr Mohammed Ash-Shiaku, Assistant Secretary, Ms Monica Amontum, Treasurer, Mr Bright Kpabitey, Organising Secretary and Mr Yusif Inusah, Assistant Organsing Secretary.
