Estate Surveying and Valuation as a profession gained limelight in Nigeria when in 1969; a group of qualified Chartered (General Practice) Surveyors formed what is known as the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) as a non-profit voluntary professional organization to cater for the interest of the profession in the Country.
This group then sought Government recognition and six years later it was accorded Government recognition by the promulgation of the Estate Surveyors and Valuers (Registration, Etc.) Decree No. 24 of 1975, now CAP E. 13 LFN 2004.
This legislation established Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria (ESVARBON) as the regulatory body for the profession.
