NIOB Closes 8th Conference and 2024 AGM: Spotlights Post-Construction Monitoring – Unity and other keys issues as new administrative year commences

The 8th Conference and 2024 Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB) Plateau State Chapter came to a close with strong takeaways which will prevent building collapses and ensure better construction outcomes.

These according the NOIB Plateau State Chairman include but not limited to Post-Construction Monitoring, Unity, Mentorship and compliance building codes.

Speaking journalists at the end of the Conference held at Crest Hotel, Jos, State Chairman of NOIB Plateau State Bldr Adeleye Adedeji Paul FNIOB, said “Most importantly, from the presentations, we have discovered that the role of builders in maintaining professional standars and regulatory compliance, in line with the state government’s executive order no. 003, cannot be overemphasized. The need for continuous professional development was emphasized, particularly in enhancing our learning and practice.”

“To summarize the topics treated: with all we have learned, it is expected that we will uphold the roles of builders, maintaining professional standards and regulatory compliance in the industry. At the end of our AGM, we resolved to pursue more robust collaboration with the state government.”

“We aim to fraternize and liaise better with the state government to ensure the roles of builders are not neglected and our partnerships with other stakeholders are strengthened. We are optimistic that this collaboration will lead to greater responsibilities for builders in maintaining professional standards and regulatory compliance.”

He pointed out that unlike previous AGMs which ended within a day, the current EXCO led by him made it a 2-day event in order to provide opportunity for more robust engagements. “In previous years, our AGMs were single-day events. This year, we had a more comprehensive and structured AGM, which we will conclude this evening with a gala night and dinner, where we will celebrate one another.”

“Looking forward, we are trusting God for greater achievements next year. God has helped us accomplish what we could this year, and we wish everyone well as we plan for the future.”

The biggest takeaways for the AGM according to the NOIB Chairman that biggest takeaways from the 2024 AGM were unity, professionalism and upholding compliance standards. The 8th Conference and AGM of NOIB Plateau State Chapter is expected to climax with a Dinner hold by 8pm.
