13TH NATIONAL CONFERENCE:  CHAIRMAN KWGIS ASSURES AUCTIONEERS OF ADEQUATE SUPPORTS

The Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Geographic Information Service (KW-GIS), ESV. Abdulkareem Babatunde Sulyman has assured members of the Certified Institute of Auctioneers of Nigeria, Kwara State Chapter of adequate support in hosting the forthcoming 13th National Conference of the Institute.

ESV Sulyman made this assurance in his office today, while playing host to both members and leaders of the state chapter of the Institute.

 The Chairman described Auctioneers as critical players in fostering transparency, boosting revenue, and driving economic opportunities across both government and private sectors.

“I am just hearing about your National Conference, and I am happy that Kwara is hosting. As you are aware, the present administration in the state is committed, among other things, to transparency, which is one thing associated with Auctioneers. Let us know the areas we can support you in ensuring you have a good outing for your 13th National Conference,” he added.

Earlier, the state Chairman of the Institute, Mr. Sanni Mohammed Olaide, had explained that the delegation was at the Kwara State Geographic Information Service (KW-GIS) to officially introduce the Institute to the Executive Chairman.

In his words, “We are here to introduce ourselves officially to the Executive Chairman and to also inform him of our forthcoming activities”.

“We bid for the 2025 conference and won, and since the majority of our members are based in KWGIS, we thought it wise to inform our Executive Chairman officially that Kwara is hosting the 13th National Conference, which is slated for November 19th and 20th, 2025”.

Speaking on the importance of auctioneers, he explained that auctioneering ensures a fast and easier way of getting payments, “you get your money faster and easier and with Auctioneers, there is transparency. Everybody is seeing what they want to buy, you bid for it and even in auction there is a possibility that you get a higher price than what is stated statutorily,” he said.

He therefore solicited the support of the Executive Chairman, towards a successful hosting of the 13th National Conference of the Institute.
