NIESV President, ESV Emmanuel Wike donates N5m to council headquarters project

The President, Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), ESV (Chief) Emmanuel Okas Wike has announced a donation of N5m for the support of the Council headquarters’ building in Abuja.

ESV Wike announced this on Friday shortly after the inspection of the five storey building under construction.

He, however, urged all members to support the project, adding that the target is to complete the building project and move into the Headquarters.

His words  “Our target is that before the end of this Administration in 2022, we should move in into this place and I know that our members are capable despite economic challenges that we are facing.

“Let me also say that the idea we have is for us to see whether we can invite our friends, corporate organizations, government to also look at this place as an investment opportunity.

“We also willing to throw this opportunity to our members who can contribute to the building of the project, if a member gives 30 to 50 million naira or the cost of completing one floor, we name that particular floor after the donor.

“We also throw it open to our members, those who can donate that kind of money, that’s our idea so that people will look at it as an investment and an advocacy for their own opportunity.

“The other way we want to do it is also to talk to our members, those who will be ready to invest in the property with the hope that whatever rent that we generate from here, we give a percentage of our rent so that is the idea that we want to bring on board and we know that most of our members and friends will buy into it” he stated.

He thanked past leaders of the organization and vowed to continue from where they have stopped, ‘it is our project that’s why we are here to look at what the contractor has done’.
