The Chairman further assured the Assembly of the Branch’s readiness to prepare and submit a comprehensive position paper highlighting relevant professional perspectives and recommendations on these critical matters. The Branch Vice Chairman, ESV. Fisayo Alo, FNIVS, also reinforced the Chairman’s position, providing further clarification on the importance of professional collaboration in developing effective and practical legislation for the state.
