The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor has said the government will provide the necessary support for the hosting of the 2024 International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) working week.

He noted that for the two organizations to be successful, the Ministry and the Federation must first create a framework that would serve as a guide for the partnership.
