NIESV OYO MEDIA REPORT
Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), Oyo State Branch, on Thursday, 15th October 2026, paid an advocacy and courtesy visit to the Office of the Director General of the Oyo State New Towns and Cities Development Authority (OYNTCDA).
The delegation, led by the Branch Chairman, ESV (Asiwaju) Tanigbola Ola-Sunkanmi, was warmly received by the Director General, Mrs. Mofoluke Adebiyi, alongside members of staff of the Authority.
In his remarks, the Branch Chairman commended the Authority and the Director General for their remarkable achievements and dedication to urban development. He particularly applauded Mrs. Adebiyi’s professional commitment and sustained contributions, from her days at the Ministry of Lands to her present leadership role. In celebrating her accomplishments, he described her as a living testament to the popular saying, “What a man can do, a woman can do better.”
In her response, the Director General acknowledged the significant contributions of NIESV and its members to the built environment. She encouraged members of the Institution to sustain their commitment to professionalism, honesty, integrity, discipline and dedicated service.
Mrs. Adebiyi attributed the Authority’s achievements to effective professional collaboration across the built-environment sector and a humble, inclusive approach to leadership. She also called for stronger partnerships with NIESV to advance the Authority’s mandate of guiding the physical planning, structural organisation and development pattern of the rapidly expanding fringes of the state capital, particularly along the Ibadan Circular Road corridor and the proposed Ilu Tuntun New Cities.
The visit provided an opportunity to strengthen institutional relationships, promote professional collaboration and explore avenues for meaningful engagement between NIESV Oyo and OYNTCDA in advancing sustainable urban growth and orderly city development across Oyo State. The Institution confirmed the readiness to be engaged for the enumeration and valuation of affected properties in the bid of the Agency to expand the city and urban renewal exercises.
