Since 2011, after I graduated highschool
I never wanted to become a surveyor. I saw myself in the profession. But from my first day in the field with a surveyor, watching him carrying out a survey like a director would direct an orchestra, I knew that I wanted to become one.

Surveying is a dying profession; this is what I have come to observe and the only way to save it is to introduce the profession to kids. Not just introduce it to them, but make it something they would feel the need to be a part of. I am volunteering to preserve the profession, to make surveying a household name like medicine or engineering, to make kids and parents alike see an importance in the profesion and it’s professionals.
Why is GKiS important?Because it is the bedrock of any meaningful development. Without surveyors, the architects, engineers, builders, cannot begin a project. Children need to understand that surveying is everywhere. We are the planners of modern society.
The most important thing I’d do is to raise the banner of GKis high in my city, Awka. Create thorough awareness about GKis and then “invade” institutions of learning to meet with our target audiences.
