All is set for the investiture of Mr. Kunle Awobodu as the 20th President of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB).
The institute had at its 49th Builders’ Conference/Annual General Meeting in August, 2019, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, elected Mr. Awobodu as its 20th president.
NIOB General Secretary, Mr. Christopher Belonwu, said arrangements had been concluded for the investiture ceremony to hold at 06:00pm on Thursday, November 28, 2019, at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Mr. Belonwu said NIOB was the only training and professional body for builders in Nigeria as recognised by the regulatory body, the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON), which was established by Decree 45 of 1989, now ACT CAP B13 FLN 2004.
He further said, “The investiture event will, therefore, be a forum for stakeholders in the building environment to reaffirm their commitment to the promotion of standard building construction that will ensure safety in our environment and save the government from the huge resources being expended on building collapse rescue operations.”
