Anambra state Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Honourable Pauly Onyeka has called on Quantity Surveyors in the state to apply best judgement in contracts estimation.
Honourable Onyeka made the call when the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors Anambra state Chapter paid him an advocacy visit in his office in Awka.

The Housing and Urban Development Commissioner while explaining what he found out when he looked into a lot of files from the past government, stated that it is no longer business as usual in Anambra state as the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo is a solution government that intends to achieve much with little because the country is experiencing economic hardship and there is no remittance any longer.
Honourable Onyeka who said that Quantity Surveyors are important in the building, construction and infrastructural development industry as their job is very crucial, advised them to look into the situation of the country and carry their job diligently for the development of the state and for the good of all.
