The statement noted that discussions centered on public safety, ethical standards within the surveying profession and ways both organizations can work together to curb fraudulent land practices.

Leading the delegation, Surveyor Abiodun Olufemi Liadi introduced the Command to a comprehensive directory of registered surveyors in Ogun State, explaining that the initiative was designed to help identify legitimate professionals and expose impostors operating within the sector. Copies of the Institution’s Code of Conduct and membership directory were formally presented to the police for reference and collaboration.

CP Ojajuni, in his remarks, highlighted the importance of accurate surveying in national development, infrastructure planning and peaceful community relations. He reaffirmed the Command’s willingness to collaborate with the Institution, particularly in intelligence sharing and public enlightenment campaigns.
The Commissioner also urged surveyors to intensify awareness efforts against land grabbing and fraudulent land transactions, describing such activities as recurring triggers of tension and insecurity within communities.

The visit wrapped up with an interactive session, renewed commitments to partnership and group photographs.
