NIR/77/007 - Development of quantity surveying courses

Terminal Report

I. INTRODUCTION

1. While this terminal report is not intended to be a historical narrative, presentation of the background of events and requirements that necessitated the implementation of the project is essential in order to give meaning and conclusion to the overall success of the achievements attained by the project.

2. Niger Delta area of Southern Nigeria encouraged the Government of the day to embark on an ambitious programme of development of all possible previously undeveloped aspects of infrastructure and economic growth throughout Nigeria. This programme was initiated in the publication of the second Five-Year Plan and enlarged in the third Five-Year Plan which ended in 1981. Year Plan followed on but,due to the economic recession currently in the world generally then and continuing at present, curtailing the demand thereby for oil, has resulted in parts of the plan being reshaped and redetailed, and amended to suit the present day conditions.

Briefly, the discovery and realisation of the extensive oil fields in the

The fourth Five-

3. Nigeria, i.e. comrminications, education, State governments and so on requiredi large amounts of capital expenditure on the construction of suitable buildings, roads and the like to enable this programme to be implemented. This, in türn, required the services of personnel, both professional and otherwise, to pTan, supervise and complete the desired constructional programme. Nigeria, howeter, though possessing some qualified national personnel, could not undertake construction of this scope and volume without outside assistance. Whilst this fact was appreciated and unavoidable in the circumstances, politically it is not desirable in the long term and it is in this overall picture that assistance from international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Unesco was and is sought, to provide the training facilities and the training of national personnel who will then be capable of continuing the development of their own country with none or minimal external assistance.

However, the third Five-Year Plan with its proposed vast development of

4. The subject of this particular project - quantity Surveying - is not new in Nigeria. In fact, the profession was established in Nigeria by the United Kingdom Government before the Second World War, but only in the form of expatriate officials in the government administration. Private quantity surveying firms from the United Kingdom were 'established after the Second World War and they carried out their own training programmes by sending their more promising national staff to the United Kingdom for further training and to qualify professionally. The profession in Nigeria is, in fact, now headed by these various people, the first of whom qualified and returned to Nigeria about 1958 and who also between them established the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors. The actual profession of quantity surveying is virtually as old as the requirement for the construction of building but it was not until 1666, after the Great Fire of London, that the architect, Sir Christopher Wren, recognised the need for people who could carry out cost estimating, cost control and prepare schedules of quantities as independent from the architects and contractors. From that time, the profession

has gradually grown until it is now foUnd in all parts of the world under different titles, but carrying out the same functions.

5. To return to Nigeria - it has therefore been established that there was a desperate shortage of all professional staff, quantity surveying amongst them. In order to offset this shortage, training was required to be stepped up and the inherent problems caused by this increase of training overcome. To >

illustrate this predicament, in 1976 there were four quantity surveying courses actually running in Nigeria - a B.Sc. course in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, producing approximately 15 graduates annually and Ordinary National Diploma courses at Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, Kaduna Polytechnic and Auchi Polytechnic producing a total of approximately 45 OND holders annually. These courses were not producing personnel betwean them and OND students were found to be insufficiently trained for the task demanded of them. At Ahmadu Bello University and Yaba College of Technology only were staff present in numbers that could justifiably name their products as quantity surveying assistants. existence. temed the "Glasgow Link" which in the end continued until July 1983.

6. The introduction of the "Glasgow Link" was an arrangement between the Auchi Polytechnic and the BriZish Council whereby personnel were recruited in the United Kingdom by the British Council through the Gasgow College of Building to come to Auchi for periods of six weeks at a time to augment the staffing necessary to carry on the quantity surveying course. In addition to this, a training scheme was initiated by Auchi Polytechnic for the best students of each year to be sponsored by the State government to attend the Glasgow College of Building in order to obtain their B.Sc. in Quantity Surveying and thence return to Auchi Polytechnic to be appointed to the permanent lecturing staff.

The other two courses were undermanned and were struggling for In fact, Auchi Polytechnic course only survived by what has been

- .

7. It was soon realised with the establishment of the Glasgow Link together with the few resident staff lecturing in quantity surveying in the Auchi Polytechnic that there was the necessity for a fully qualified quantity surveyor to be appointed to coordinate the course generally, to build up the Ordinary National Diploma (OND) course-and to introduce a Higher National Diploma course. This was considered necessary to enable this aspect of the Federal Government's urgent manpower problem to be tackled. Due to the reluctance of suitably qualified national personnel to take on this task, the Government asked for UNDP/Unesco assistance - the result being this project NIR/77/007 - which is now due to be completed an 31 December 1986. The project was included in the 1975-80 UNDP Country Programme and the project document signed in February 1978 for an initial project life of three years, but was extended in various stages with additional objectives until 3L.December 1986.

The project objectives as stated in the original project document are as

Development objectives

9. The Government's sectoral development objective is to eliminate the existing serious shortfall in the supply of middle-level managerial and technical personnel. student enrolment in post-secondary technical institutions should increase from about 8,850 in 1975-76 to about 36,450 in 1980-81. The construction industry is being heavily stretched by the building and civil works programme of the Development Plan and it is estimated that at least 1,000 professionals and 3,000 sub-professionals in quantity surveying and related fields will have to be produced by the post-secondary technical institutions within the next five years. This project is included in the UNDP Country Programme for 1975-80 in place of another proposed Bende1 State project which has been withdrawn (Health Project 18). One obj ect ive of the UNDP Country Programme is the development of middle-level managerial and technical manpower.

It is proposed in the Third National Development Plan that the total

Two Unesco experts have been involved in the implementation of the project; the first expert for twelve months from December 1978 to December 1979, and the second for seventy-two months from January 1981 to December 1986. December 1980 and all activities initiated by the first expert suffered from lack of direction during that period, though the course materials prepared were being extensively used by the students under the supervision of the three full- time members of staff (all expatriate). The project was revived on the arrival of the second expert and has continued unbroken since, though the six project extensions were made on a piecemeal basis for periodsof one year, eight months, four months, one month, seven months and sixteen months, which is hardly conducive for maximum planning efficiency nor for maximum output from the project expert, being continually subject to uncertainty and suspense. funding of the project has been entirely by UNDP with no other external funding sources. Throughout the project , Government finance has been minimal, particularly from mid 1981 onwards and has been restricted to providion of living quarters for the expert office accommodation and national staff with no separate office equipment and only minimum stationary. No transport was available for the second expert; the previous car having broken down the second expert being advised to obtain his own car.

The

Nat ional Board of Technical Education (NTBE)

Id. Before detailed breakdown of the objectives, it is well to note the role of the National Board of Technical Education in relation to Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology throughout Nigeria in order to appreciate the coordination and supervision laid down.

14. to implement government policy in technical education. This the NBTE does by setting up panels to draw up the curriculum and syllabus for each technical course offered in polytechnics, etc., throughout Nigeria, and to monitor all institutions offering technical courses by appointing independent panels to visit these institutions to ensure that the institutions are run in accordance with NBTE guidelines and that the courses offered do actually conform to the NBTE curriculum and syllabus. Xnstitutions approved as meeting the NBTE guidelines are then graded as accredited and empowered to issue National Diploma and Higher National Diploma to successful students.

The National Board of Technical Education is the body set up by government

15. The panel drawing up the quantity surveying curriculum and syllabus was composed of about fifteen quantity surveyors from private practice, government, education and the professional institute - the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS). The panel met to decide on the curriculum and subjects required

- 5 -

to satisfy the professions demands and allocated subjects to all members of the panel to write up. The resultant syllabus was then assembled and sent to the review committee composed of one member from private practice, government and education and chaired by the Unesco expert. The committee completed its review and sent the reviewed document to the Academic Committee of the Council for Heads of Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology (COHEADS) who, after scrutiny, will pass it to the NBTE for final approval and issue to all technical institutions offering quantity surveying courses.

Nigerian Institute of Ouantitv Survevors (NIOS)

16. The Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors was founded in 1968 by national professional quantity surveyors who had obtained their professional qualifications either from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) or the Institute of Quantity Surveyors (IQS), both bodies based in the United Kingdom. The Institute now has a membership of 1,116 and has been recognised by the Nigerian Government Decree "X" as the body charged with the registration of quantity surveyorsthroughout Nigeria. All quantity surveying courses offered by universities and polytechnics in Nigeria have to be approved by the NIQS before any exemption from the NIQS professional examinations can be given. The NIQS at present runs the first, second and final examinations with a minimum two years' professional experience before the test of professional competence can be taken which then gives the right to Lssociate membership of the NIQS (ANIQS). Students are encouraged to join the Institute as student memb ers .

Objective (a)(;): Improvement of existing OND course in - quantity - surveying

17. The existing OM) course in quantity surveying was based on a curriculum and syllabus prepared for the National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) and has been in operation since 1976. The syllabus set a minimm standard and the higher institutions operating the course were expected to offer education under the course to a higher standard. However, in October 1978, the Government carried out its decision to revise its policy towards technical education and to alter the ND/HND system of four years total education to a Nigerian National Diploma lasting three years embracing both the old ND and HND courses. This revised course system proved to be unpopular generally and after some considerable pressure the NND was dropped, the ND/HND system being readopted in October 1980. The system was further amended by introducing a minimum compulsory one-year break between completion of the ND and commencement of the HND course to enable students to obtain industrial experience. The first year the break operated was the 1983-1984 session. The first expert arrived, therefore, three months after the introduction of the NND and was required to introduce the revised syllabus with its cumhersome trimester system. By the time the second expert arrived the old system of ND/HND had returned and considerable time was spent by the second expert in rewriting the NND syllabus into the ND and HND which was complicated by the NND syllabus having been hurriedly prepared under the NBTE and contained considerable irrelevant material. This amended syllabus is still being operated in Auchi Polytechnic but is to be replaced in October 1986 by a new syllabus written in the behavioral objective mode. This new syllabus was prepared for the NBTE as previously stated and has be en

moderated by a review committee of three,chaired by the Unesco expert, and will be used throughout all polytechnics in Nigeria offering quantity surveying courses.

18. Glasgow Link personnel and though good in content tended to be in haphazard fashion depending on the speciality of each individual visitor. The first expert therefore had the task of rationalising the materials and in the absence of staff prepared a great deal himself. In fact, the majority of work carried out by the first expert revolved around actual lecturing, the Unesco requirement of experts being in an advisory position being completely negated by the toba1 lack of personnel to advise. Fortunately, the number of students at the time was not too large.

19, During the first year of the second expert's presence, the majority of his time was also taken up by lecturing and preparation of course material, but the situation in this respect eased in September 1981 when two staff returned from Glasgow having successfully obtained their B.Sc. or equivalent and also two other staff appointments were made. Being a professional course it is always considered advisable for staff to develop their own course material and the second expert carried out the policy of vetting all course material prepared, to ensure conformity to the syllabus and professional standards.

The existing course materials were mainly brought out to Auchi by the

,

i

20. As stated before,the second expert prepared the new syllabus and in the course of its preparation circulated it amongst the staff for their comments and discussion thus ensuring that all staff had the opportunity to propose enlargement or deletion of parts of the syllabus as they thought necessary.

21. On the return of the next two staff members from Glasgow in September 1982, it was decided to change the teaching of the Fifth Standard Method of Neasurement to conform with the latest international development by adopting the Sixth Standard Method of Measurement. This entailed the complete revision of all measurement course materials and was carried out by the staff members under the supervision and guidance of the expert.

22. In the development of course materials it is required that drawings, handouts, model answers, etc., are all prepared, the shortage and non availability of textbooks for students making this 'preparation mandatory. Despite the shortase of consumables, this was done and each member of staff now has a complete set of teaching materials for each subject in his own specialised area. It must be noted that quantity surveying tends to be better assimilated by students when lecturers use their own individually prepared materials. A central pool of all course materials does not work satisfactorily. The only centralisation that does henefit all is in the case of drawings for measurement, but even then each lecturer prepares his own modelanswers, lectures, etc., from each drawing he uses.

Objective (a)(;;) and (iii): Introduction of HND course and development of course materials for HND course in quantity surveying

23. The introduction of the HND course was in effect initiated by the first expert under the NND system in October 1979, but the first batch of students under the NND were extended by one year in October 1980 to form the first HND graduates produced by the course on the completion of that year in July 1981. Since July 1981, HND graduates have been produced annually each having completed four years of in-college training.

- 7 -

24. The HND syllabus was introduced by the secand expert based upon the NBTE NND syllabus and it is to be noted that it was this syllabus that led to the approval of the whole ND and HND course by the professional body (NIQS) which gave students from Auchi who obtained their HND complete exemption from all the professional examinations with the exception of the test of professional competence. This exemption,granted on 23 April 1982, applied to all HND graduates in quantity surveying from Auchi, thus giving the HND course the same exemptions as the B.Cc. graduates in quantity surveying from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

25. In July 1981, the first official meeting was called by the NBTE In Kano to revise the old NND syllabus and prepare a new syllabus based on behavioural objectives. However, due to the unfamiliarity of this form of phraseology, generally throughout Nigeria, the NBTE postponed any further syllabus preparation on all courses until seminars and workshops had been held for all Nigeria polytechnic staff. This was completed in 1984,and in March 1985 the NBTE again called for the quantity surveying syllabus to be prepared, initially in Yaba College of Technology, which was attended by the expert and three national counterpart staff. Thereafter, the draft syllabus was moderated and reviewed by the review panel. chaired by the expert and submitted to the Academic Affairs Committee of the COiEADS in June 1986. Their approval is still awaited but is expected before the stan of the 1986-1987 academic session.

Objective (a>(iv): Creation of a Building and Construction Costs Information Centre

26. Government. To achieve meaningful results, considerable research is necessary by a team of three qualified personnel and some partly qualified assistants to collect information based on onsite time study programmes, in order to build up national labour rates and constants at present non existent in Nigeria. The need for this is backed by requests from all sides of the construction industry but funds to support the research have not been forthcoming in the present economic climate. Also, the staff in the quantity surveying course were too inexperienced in the first instance to be able to assimilate and dissemble information. However, -i7ith the return of two of the three Unesco fellows with additional further education. the cost centre will be started provided funds can be found.

This objective has not been achieved due to the lack of funding from the

27. A research project document has been drawn up and was submitted to the professional body (NIQS) in July 1985, but without success regarding funds.

Objective (a>(v>: Introduction of a practical student attachment training programme

28. In deciding the overall policy of technical education the Government, through the NBTE, has recognised the importance of practical industrial training during the ND and HND courses to the extent that financial subsistence was allocated by the NBTE to students undergoing compulsory Industrial Training Attachment (ITA), under the industrial Training Fund (ITF) .

I

29. The overall ITA programme in Auchi Polytechnic is organised by a specific unit - the Industrial Training Unit, headed by a senior officer whose responsibility

it is to place all students in suitable offices, The quantity surveying students are placed in a variety of offices ranging from Central and State Government, private firms, contractors' organisations and parastatals such as Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Nigerian Railways, etc. Most of these offices were arranged in the first place through visits by both experts and these offices have continued to accept students under the scheme. Two visits per period of attachment are made by members of the quantity surveying staff to each student in order to verify that the students are receiving adequate training in accordance with the programme of experience required during the period. the economic situation, only the ND students are sent for ITA for a period of four months in the long vacation between the first and second years.

At present, due to

30, However, HND students are not now sent out for ITA, the Government taking the view that as HND students do have a market value the Government should not be expected to subsidise students during this second period and that employers should pay students, Unfortunately, the amount of work being carried out by the construction industry is insufficient at present for employers to employ'more personnel under any scheme for which they would be liable for financial support. The second period of ITA is therefore not being implemented.

31. The scheme generally works satisfactorily, though initially some practitioners tended to look upon students as being sent for the practitioners use and convenience rather than the practiSioners ensuring that the students rece ive d tra in ing.

32. situation curtailing the workload has affected some practitioners more than others, giving some students less exposure to suitable training. One could expand and claim that the compulsory one year Nátional Youth Service Corps (NYSC) service which all HND and B.Sc. students must undertake on successful completion of their final courses is in effect another period of industrial training. The Government pays students for their one-year of practical service which benefits employers by having additional workforce at little expense and also giving students compulsory work experience.

33. During his ITA, each student fills in a log book, recording daily the type of work he has been carrying out. Each week, the students office supervisor checks and signs the log book which, on completion of the ITA, is submitted to the student's polytechnic department who checks through the log book and interviews the student. In the case of any falsification, deliberate absenteeism or other misdemeanour, the student may be required to take his ITA again at his own expense. Though the ITA does not now enter into calculation of the student's score for the award of the ND or HND, failure to satisfy the ITA requirement will result in failure of the course.

34. It has been found through the years that the ITA is generally a satisfactory scheme, though the training the student receives depends mainly upon the attitude of the employer of the student towards training and also the amount and type of work being carried out by the employer.

The staff, however, have familiarised themselves with the overhead projector and have developed their own materials for use therewith.

Recurrent staffing problems

37. At the commencement of the project, the course had no qualified quantity surveyor on the staff, the course being maintained with the core subjects being taught by visiting lecturers from the Glasgow College of Building and Printing under the "Glasgow Link" scheme funded by the British Council (TETOC) and the support subjects being serviced by other Polytechnic departments. During the first year of the project, one Ghanaian quantity surveyor was appointed and in 1980 two more Ghanaians were appointed. In common with all other professions, particularly those of comparative infancy in Nigeria, such as the Polytechnic, salary scales compared unfavourably with university scales as well as those obtainable in industry, and it was proving extremely di€ficult to attract qualified personnel to polytechnics generally. the introduction of twelve polytechnics throughout Nigeria from 1979-1980, all clamouring for staff who were not even able to be obtained by the older establishments. It was therefore with this background that the development programme of staffing was planned to be based on personnel trained under polytechnic auspices.

This situation was compounded by

- 10 -

Staff development progamme

The programe for staff development was worked out with the ultimate 38. objective of all the courses being staffed by national personnel, but with realisation that this could not be achieved without interim support from sources other than national personnel.

39. On this basis the interim support was provided by four Ghanaians who were enïployed on contract basis of whom three are at this moment still with the department. Further, the "Glasgow Link" continued to operate to give the course i

the full professional backing by sending out from the United Kingdom three personnel for six week periods, twice each semester, totalling twelve personnel per year. This link scheme finally ceased in July 1983.

40. The provision of national staff was implemented by sending a total of five OND Quantity Surveying holders from Auchi Polytechnic together with one HND Building holder as Assistant Lecturer-in-Training on full-time B.Sc. courses to the United Kingdom. Five of the,six sponsored students have now returned to the Polytechnic having obtained their B.Sc. and in addition have obtained their full professional qualifications within the past years. bonded periods and it is anticipated that they will remain in the Polytechnic thereafter. One of the five has been nominated as the Head of Department and has newly taken over from the expert accordingly. developed by the appointment of the best HND graduate from the 1982-83 year as a Higher Instructor and also following on the success of the first graduate serving his NYSC year in the department in 1982 at least two NYSC graduates are posted to the department annually. Owing to the economic situation, although there are three staff vacancies (one Senior Principal and two Principal Lecturers) in the department, no more appointments are envisaged at present. The Polytechnic is encouraging the filling of the vacant posts by promotion as an incentive to the present staff.

Staff seminar programme

41. The staff seminar programme was introduced in the 1981-1982 session and was intended to benefit mainly the inexperienced members returned from the United Kingdom. The programme ran successfully but could not be sustained owing to the continual interruptions by Polytechnic staff unrest during the 1982-1983 and 1983-1984 sessions. The programme gave way instead to individual tutorial and coaching sessions to assist the staff in obtaining their profescional qualifications. The younger staff have also been encouraged to attend specific lectures given by the expert to the final year classes on particular aspects such as contract bonds, contract claims, advanced Lieasurement of civil engineering, bankruptcy , etc.

explanation of the rules covering the Gross Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Points Average (CPA) calculations which are used in the assessment of the student's performance in the two semester examination system adopted by the Polytechnic. addition to this manual, the Polytechnic also issues a Students ' Handbook which also gives a complete breakdown of the GPA and CPA system and includes all Polytechnic regulations regarding students behaviour, socieities and examinations. All staff are expected to be reasonably conversant with the contents thereof, though it is the head of department who normlly has the responsibility of the observance of the manual and handbook.

Unesco fellowship programme

The project document initially provided only twelve man months of training 43. and this was taken up by one Polytechnic staff member servicing the course, an economist by training who foresaw the opportunity of obtaining an M. Sc. in Construction Economics as a prelude to taking over the position as head of department, However, the NIQS insistence that only personnel qualified professionally as quantity surveyors could head the department in order to ensure NIQS recognition of full examination exemption to the course, militated against the fellowwho left the department and the Polytechnic in January 1983. Thus, the fellowship programme did not produce any lasting benefit to the department or the course.

(c) (iii) Strengthening of evaluation of teaching staff programme

44. The syllabus prepared by the expert for both ND and HND courses was in sufficient detail to enable the staff to plan their lecture programme for each semester in their own subjects. Each member of staff was allocated subjects at the beginning of each session according to the expertise and preference of the member,and each staff member was then responsible for setting out his lecture programme in accordance with the syllabus using the text books available within the department as reference material. These lecture programmes were submitted to the expert for approval. Due to acute shortage of paper, students were allocated one copy of the syllabus to each class, in the charge of the student class captain.

45. Staff members have had the opportunity to take different subjects in different years and have all taken advantage of this scheme in order to widen their experience.

IV. MATTERS ADDITIONAL TO THE STATED PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Departmental administration

46. Environmental Studies should have the Department of Quantity Surveying separate¿ from Land Surveying and that the expert should take on the duties of Head of Department on the promise that his services could be utilised to set up the Department in the absence of any suitably qualified lecturer. This, together with a heavy lecturing programme (due to lack of lecturing staff), formed a considerable load in addition to the normal project activities. However, the move benefited the course and all that has since been attained under the project would have been considerably more difficult otherwise.

In 1981, the National Director requested that the newly formed School of

They estimated that a project extension to December 1986 should bring about the desired results. this end, the project extension document was drawn up stating the objectives considered necessary to complete the work of the project and to enable the course to continue with a sound base.

In June 1984, a project evaluation mission was mounted by UNDP to determine The mission report highlighted the

VI. ACTIVITIES AND OUTPUTS

outputs

la) Develop existing ND and HND courses in quantity surveying

51. The NBTE in 1981 announced its intention of restructuring all its syllabuses which were to be based on the behavioural objective system stating goals and objectives. Work was started in July 1981, but owing to the inexperience of most of the panel members, was postponed until training and approach required was completed. Training courses were held in 1983 and work was recommenced in 1985. The quantity surveying syllabus was started in March 1985 and a vetting committee headed by the expert handed the completed ND and HND syllabus to the Academic Committee of the COHEADS in June 198G. The syllabus has been restructured, various sections being placed in different sequence to tie in with the NIQS professional requirements and also to present a better interaction with the Industrial Training programme. Some additional topics have been introduced at HND level, the thesis required in the final year enlarged in scope and a project task introduced in .the ND final year.

52. are based on a 30 contact-hour week for 15 weeks each of the two semesters in the session. Course materials are being revised to reflect the changes.

The course timetables and staff /student contact hours have been revised and

NBTE Accredition Eanels

53. The expert was asked by the NBTE in January 1984 to serve on the Accredition Panels set up to visit and report upon quantity surveying courses in Yabz College of Technology, Kaduna Polytechnic, Bida Polytechnic, Ow0 Polytechnic and Lagos State College of Science and Technology in order to ascertain the viability of the courses and their conformity to the NETZ syllabus and requirements.

NETE Accreditation Panel visit to Auchi Polytechnic

54. The expert was appointed to the Auchi Polytechnic committee dealing with the NBTE Accreditation Panel visit in May 1985. In preparation for this visit, the staff were involved. in a self study exercise and were required to complete an NETE questionnaire. During the visit, the Panel inspected the quantity surveying student records, student work, student classroom accommoaation, staff accommodation, library facilities, Workshop facilities, interviexed staff and students and carried out class observation. Tne visit xas successful, resulting in tne highest national score for quantity sumeying courses, the ND and HhTD courses being given NETE accrédicztion accordingly.

i-') ,-. . ic; Creation of c Bullding and Construcrion Cost Information Centre and htroductiofi of a research programme

55. These two activities run dependent onach other as uncil research has been introduce¿ into construction costs .in Nigeriz the creation of a Cost Information Centre will have nG realicric basic. A research proposai document was prepared detailing proposeci research nationwide into t'ne basis of building cost, that is

- 14 -

the element of labour costs in construction unit rates which up to now has not been documented in Nigeria. This research proposal document was submitted last year to the Polytechnic authorities and the NIQS for financial support, without which the research cannot be carrried out, depending as it must, on considerable travel by the research team to all parts of Nigeria in order to carry out work study exercises on various ongoing construction projects. Until finance is forthcoming it will be impossible to implement these two activities.

? .n\ i "/ ïntráduction of Consultancy Unit

56. Documentation has been prepared and a prospectus produced, but until the national economy improves bringing better prospects for construction projects it has proved difficult for the Unit to function apart from the work involved in the internal Polytechnic construction works - unfortunately also severely limited due to the same financial restrictions. The consultancy unit is a most valuable part of staff training giving the professional practical experience essential; but until the economy improves generally, it will be difficult to keep the Unit functioning continuously.

(o) Revised programme for student attachment training

57. The Polytechnic Industrial Training Unit in the course of its liaison with the NBTE has been asked by the NBTE to encourage the production of syllabus to be issued to each employer and student giving an up-to-date guideline as to the area and type of training to be given by the employer to the students during industrial attachment. The expert has supervised the syllabus produced by the quantity surveying departmental staff for the National Diploma in both Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying, the new ITA syllabus being introduced in July 1986.

58. Due again to the financial situation, the ITA is now only sponsored by the Government through the NBTE for National Diploma students only. The Government takes the view that employers should pay for the ITA for Higher National Diploma students on the grounds that HND students have some earning capacity with the additional knowledge they have. -milst this is z good principle, due again to the poor financial position, no professional and contracting firms can afford to pay for the students.

!f; Development of departmental Library

59. The project extension áocument provision of $ 10,000 for the purchase of books to enable a Library to be set up within the Department has been utilise6 and the books have been received over a period of six months (three parcels are still awâited). ïhe books have been catalogueä under the Folytechnic system and 2 pzrc-time assistant has been allocate¿ to the Department from the Polytechnic Central Library to supervise the lending facilities. Funds were allocated by the Polytechnic to enable a room in the Department to De made secure for the books.

(q> Development of the course facilities

60. Trie equipment provided for under the project exrension document has now arrived ana is being installed in the ëeparrmencal library room aná will be under tho soie control of thE &ad of Bepartment.

(pi) Staff development

61. In-house training has been carried on mainly by individual staff tutorial session with the expert, with the added intention of tuition for the NIQS test of professional competence. All the staff have now obtained the professional qualifications, resulting in the Department having more professionally qualified staff than any other degree or HND course in the country. The staff have been encouraged to produce seminar and discussion papers, some of which have been accepted by the NIQS and Nigerian Institute of Builders (NIOB).

62. Further advanced education has benefited two members of staff who were awarded Unesco fellowships under the project extension to read M.Sc. in Construcfion Technology at Loughborough University, United Kingdom, and have now returned to Auchi, have successfully obtained their M.Sc. A third member of staff has also been awarded a fellowship and has joined the M.Sc. course in Construction Economics at the University of London, United Kingdom. He will complete his course in October 1987. further enhance the already high standard of lecture% in the Department.

The additional expertise now gained will

63. The professional development is dependent on the national state of the economy and at present cannot be pursued successfully on this account, with the exception of small in-house polytechnic schemes.

64. Consultancy to other courses is continuing with three staff members assisting the HND quantity surveying course at Ow0 Polytechnic on a part-time basis. The State Polytechnic of Oxoro and Ogwashi-Uku have now been closed due to economic cut backs and one of the Ogwashi-Uku staff members has been taken on in the Department.

(i) Introduction of an ND course in Building Surveying

65. The expert has produced an ND and HND syllabus in building surveying after organising two workshops beginin; together various personnel at present dealing with maintenance. The new NU course in building surveying was started in November 1984, the first in the country with the HND course proposed for the 1987-1988. session.

66. The syllabuses have now been prepared under the new behavioural objective system and were sent to the Acadenic Affairs Cmittee of C O H W S in July 1986 for their approval and onward transmission to NBTE. The building surveying course which was originally proposed for UNDP,’Unesco scpport has now been made the subject of a full training course under the European Economic Community(EEC) azd the expert has been invoived in the preparation of the project documents first for UhJP/Unesco and then the EEC. It now seems certain that tne EEC project will be signed in December 1986, and will continue the development of building surveying in Nigeria initiated by the expert.

67. The first batch of ND graduates in building surveying was produced in July 1986 and all of tnem have obtainea employmen: iri the îndustrial attachmenc year before being admitted to the HND programme.

;J) Introduction of a short-time course €or the test of professional competence of the NIQS

68. Following on numerous requests to the NIQS and the Department for the provision of a post-HND short-time course concentrating on those aspects required for the NIQS test of professional competence, it was decided to introduce a two week course with venues at Lagos, Auchi, Kaduna and Enugu. The course was first held in October 1985 but only in Lagos, where evening classes were held, and in Auchi, were day-time classes were arranged by the expert with two members of staff and a practitioner from Benin. It was found that the day-time course in Auchi proved to be the most successfu1,scoring a 50% pass rate out of the twelve who attended. Only three out of 52 were successful in Lagos. Also, the course proved too costly for the NIQS and it was decided not to run the course in 1986, though preparations were made in Auchi and numerous requests were again receivec

VII. NATTERS ADDITIONAL TO THE STATED PROJECT EXTENSION OBJECTIVES

NIQS examination committee

69. The expert was appointed to the NIQS examination committee in 1984 and has set the Measurement of Construction Works examination paper for the test of professional competence in 1984, 1985 and 1986, together with the paper on Building Science for the first examination in 1984, 1985 and 1986.

Academic Advisory Panel to the School of Environmental Studies, Yaba College of Technology

70. The expert was appointed to the above Panel set up to advise the School on improvements and amendments to the quantity surveying and building ND and HND courses in April 1986.

Graduates serving NYSC year

71. HND graduates from Auchi are sought after by other polytechnics and universities for lecturing duties in the various quantity surveying courses during their NYSC service year.

VIII. ACHIEVEMENT OF TEE OBJECTIVES

72. The findings of the evaluation mission in June 1984 confirmed the full achievement of all objectives except those which could only be completely realised by the project extension to December 1986. The objectives thus affected were briefly as follows :

1. Training of national counterparts; 2 Provision of equipment; 3. Provision of books; i:. Commencement of research programme; 5. Activation of Consultancy Unit.

Of tne above five objectives, it Fs only the research programme thac has not produced the desired results due to financial circumstances outside the project's control.

73. production of a course capable of reducing the lack of professional and middle level personnel in the quantity surveying profession. It can therefore be seen from the following figures that the course has succeeded. The number of HND graduates produced from 1981 to 1986 is 228, and the number of Auchi graduates who have obtained their full professional qualification up to 1986 is 38. surveying in the country and the foundation laid down is envisaged to provide the same calibre of graduates for many years in the future.

The main objective defined in the original project document was the

IX . FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

Inadequacy of funding

74. of adequate financial support during and after completion. It therefore follows that if it is considered desirable for a course to be introduced then full budgeting must be made to follow through. In this particular project, the provision of staff training was considered the most important aspect and maximum support has been given to enable this to be fulfilled. Owing to the severe financial restraint, the government funds available were minimal and were, in. accordance with the top priority, channelled into staff training, leaving virtually none for the other aspects of the project. However, the final project extension did enable UNDP/Unesco to make good the previous financial deficiency and the project and the Polytechnic have benefited accordingly.

The basic problem facing the introduction of any course is the provision

Final length of Pro; ect

75. The original project document was based, to a certain extent, on the misconception that the expert would only be required in an advisory capacity assisting a qualified quantity surveyor generally. qualified quantity surveyors in Nigeria was so small, thus necessitating the project in the first place, it was perhaps optinlsrlc to hope that one of the few would give up lucrative professional practice to come into education with its much less financial emoluments. To make sure that a national counterpart could qualify and attain a reasonable professional experience in three years was completely unrealistic and it is only now, after the project has completed seven years, that one of the national counterparts has obtained sufficient qualification and experience to have a good chance of success in leading the Department and HND courses.

8 s the number of professionally

Relations between expert and national staff

76. It is only right in closing this section of the report to mention the excellent support the expert has enjoyed from the project Yational Director, the national counterparts and all the staff in the Polytechnic. There is no doubt that the success of the project is in no small way directly due to this support,, which naturally is reflecte¿ in the student's performance generally to be rated as most commendable. With the ctafi strength as it is, there is no reason why the course should not continue to be the leading quantity surveying course nationally for some years to come aná be a creait to the Foiytechnic.

REC 0i.IME NDATI ONS Tl A.

77. The introduction of a short-time post-END course as a pre-TPC refresher course made in 1985 should be reinstated in 1987 and dealt with independently of the NIQS if necessary. The concentrated two-weeks full time instruction proved much more beneficial to the TPC candidates than part-time tuition and could also prove lucrative to the Polytechnic if planned correctly.

78. The NBTE National Diploma courses in Building, ?uantity Surveying and Building Surveying should all be amalgamated into one National Diploma course with a title of "Environmental Technology" and HND courses then offered separately in each speciality. This should apply nationally, not just in Auchi Polytechnic.

79. A new MBTE HND course in Building should be introduced into the School of Environmental Studies to take advantage of the expertise now available in the School.

80. A new NBTE ND and HND course in Architecture should be introduced into the School of Environmental Studies which already offers Estate Management, T o m Planning, Land Surveying, Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying.

81. should be registered before being allowed to practice as, or calling themselves, quantity surveyors and recognises that the NIQS is the professional body whose membership has to be obtained before registration.

The Government has approved a decree reco2nisinz that quantity surveyors

82. It is recommended that the Polytechnic staff qualifications are based on this requirement taking cognizance of the fact that the professional qualification ANIQS or FNIQS (or other professional qualification accepted by the NIQS) takes precedence over degree qualifications such as B.Sc., M.Sc., or HND and that an HPJD from Auchi Polytechnic which gives full exemption from the NIQS TPC is accorded the same salary grade as a B.Sc. which gives only the same exemption.

83. It is strongly recommended that all the staff maintain the firmest ties with the NIQS in order to continue to play a leading role in the education of the quantity surveyor in Nigeria.

84. The Consultancy Unit should be activated as much as possible, despite the '

present financial straits.

85. The strongest recommendation for funds to be made available from any possible source to enable the research project to be commenced. This research project is considered absolutely essential for the Nigerian construction industry to enable a sound cost basis to be established for all construction projects.
