The Lagos State Branch of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) has commissioned its Library at the Branch’s Secretariat in Alausa CBD, Ikeja Lagos.
Chairman of the Branch, Adedotun Bamigbola, a fellow of the institution, said the library will operate as both physical and virtual knowledge space for real estate practitioners who are members of the Branch.
He said: “The NIESV Lagos State Branch Library is a project of high importance which has run through several Executive Committees of the branch in the last 8 years and so, we are happy that we are now able to make it come on stream just before the end the current Executive Committee of the Branch.”
Bamigbola said the Library is built in partnership with Echostone Nigeria Limited, a housing development firm which is also trying to do something critical for real estate knowledge development in the nation. He said: “We are happy that this is a partnership that has worked and we are grateful to the company for partnering with us on the library project.
“The Library will function as both physical and online library as we have computers activated with the internet at the library and the library is open Monday to Friday 9 am to 4 pm just before the secretary closes at 5 pm.”
While noting that the library is now stocked with very relevant and contemporary books in Estate Management, Bamigbola said more books are still welcome at the library to fill up its many shelf cells.
He urged students of Estate Management who are members of the Branch to make good use of the Library.
“We want to implore members of the Branch and other stakeholders in the real estate sector to donate books to the library,” he stated.
