Mr. Adeyanju - the brain box of NIS

Sur. Prof K. F. ALEEM·Apr 8, 2026

I met him first at Montgomery Street in 1987 when I was a student member of NIS, and I remember him as a man of admirable character. He is an administrator to the core. He was the engine room and the brain box of Nigerian Institution of Surveyors (NIS). Mr. Adeyanju’s life and legacy live with NIS. From 8 Montgomery Street, Yaba to Engineering Close in Victoria Island Lagos; to CBD Abuja and Utako Abuja. He has every information with him at all times. It is deeply saddening that he passed away just days after his beloved wife. My heartfelt condolences go to the entire family. His wife, who was once my student at the Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, is someone I remember with great respect—particularly for the many occasions she represented her fellow students as a member of the NISS Executive. This double loss is indeed painful. May their souls rest in perfect peace, and may God grant the family the strength and comfort to bear this irreparable loss. Adieu Mr and Mrs Adeyanju. - Surv. Prof. K. F. Aleem, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi
