NIESV Women’s Wing Advocates for Women in Real Estate

The National Women’s Wing of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), under the leadership of National Coordinator Alhaja Ibironke Ogun, has called for greater recognition and participation of women in Nigeria's real estate industry. This announcement was made on November 11 at their office in Ikeja, Lagos State, ahead of a four-day retreat and investiture scheduled for Abeokuta, Ogun State, from November 26 to 29.

The retreat, themed ‘Women in Real Estate Practice: Challenges, Opportunities and Prospects’, aims to gather 200 to 250 female estate surveyors and valuers from across the country. Ogun emphasized the evolution of female participation in the profession and the need for equal opportunities for qualified women in project management and leadership roles.

She also addressed challenges such as quackery and fraudulent transactions in the sector, urging the public to verify the professional status of estate practitioners.
