Ethics in Surveying: Key Focus for Students in Ekiti

Dr. Oyedokun Abiodun, the former Vice President of the Nigerian Institute of Surveyors, addressed surveying students at a mentorship event in Ekiti State on a Saturday.

He emphasized the necessity for students to uphold ethical standards in their profession, particularly as they navigate the evolving landscape of surveying, which increasingly relies on high technology. Abiodun advised students to not only aim for passing grades but to deeply understand their field and adapt to its demands.

He warned that a single ethical compromise could ruin a brilliant career, especially in a profession dealing with significant financial investments and land ownership. General John Faleto, the State Surveyor General, and other speakers encouraged students to take advantage of mentorship opportunities and build strong professional networks.

The event was part of a week-long celebration organized by the Nigerian Institute of Surveyors and aimed to prepare students for future challenges in the geospatial industry.
