Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors

Kene Nzekwe highlighted this initiative during the August 2024 NIQS national workshop in Abuja, emphasizing that the databank will facilitate effective cost monitoring and regulation, ensuring value for money in construction projects at all governmental levels.

A group of Nigerians, trained in the UK, came back to the country and created a parallel body to the Royal institute of Chartered Surveyors of the United Kingdom.

Previous events such as workshops, QS Job Fairs, End of The Year Dinner etc were held in Osun State, Gombe, Uyo, March, Kaduna, Makurdy, Abuja, Lagos etc.

The NIQS and CIQS have also committed to exchanging professional research and knowledge and collaborating on topics of shared interest to enhance cooperation on relevant issues.
