Ghana is billed to host the 2024 International Federation of Surveyors Conference (FIG).
This came to light at the just ended FIG conference held at Warsaw, Poland where the Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Mr Benito Owusu-Bio led a Ghanaian delegation to the all-important conference held from 11th – 15th September 2022.
The Deputy Minister used the Poland meeting to announce some giant strides made by Ghana in Land administration, Geospatial Information and Surveying practices amongst others.
He also used the platform to interact at a Ghana Focus Meeting on the sidelines of the FIG conference where he introduced to the International community on the readiness of Ghana to host the 2024 FIG Conference.
The Deputy Lands Minister also used the platform to visit the University of Science and Technology Warsaw and held fruitful discussions with the Rector on the need for scholarships and training for Ghanaian surveyors.
Mr Benito Owusu-Bio was accompanied on the trip by Hon. Francis Manu-Adabor (Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Lands and Forestry), Deputy Executive Secretary of the Lands Commission, Mr Jones Ofori Boadu and other officials of the Ministry.
