The Director of Research and Innovation at  the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Prof. Nnenna Nwobodo-Nzeribe, has commended the Head of the Department of Quantity Surveying, Dr Henry Ajaelu for his impactful leadership.

During an interview with ESUT Monitor, the Director commended Dr. Ajaelu, on his transformative leadership at the department. She spoke after the department unveiled the names of the members of the First International Conference Committee of the department on Tuesday.

“There is no project or house that can be achieved without a surveyor. At times, people tend to neglect quantity surveying, not realizing that it is essential for any project. When you don’t plan well with the quantity of materials needed to execute any project, that project is bound to have risks because all the factors needed in the planning and implementation of aren’t considered. That’s why there was a need for this conference to be held, she said.

“I am sure that in this conference, innovative ideas will emerge that will help in solving some of the environmental issues we face.”

Dr Ajaelu has been working through the clock and collaborating with other critical stakeholders in the surveying profession in order to enhance effective teaching and learning in the department.
