The Association of Tilers in Nigeria (ATN) has raised alarm over invasion of quacks builders in the building industry. According to Comrade Hassan Olanrewaju, ATN President, quite a number of Nigerians have continued to fall victims to their activities.
Comrade Olanrewaju further described the situation as worrisome as the quacks continue to carry out their shoddy works that leads to building collapsing, a situation that puts down real professionals in the building industry.
Under the Company and Allied Matters Act 1990, ATN is a noble professional organization registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
The association has vowed not to tolerate the unethical, unprofessional and fraudulent activities of quack tilers in Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) following the numerous disturbing reports and complaints of site abandonment, poor customer relationship, use of substandard materials, fraud just to mention a few carried out by the unprofessional tilers.
The ATN have categorically denied and disassociates with their unprincipled elements. According to the association investigations, it is discovered that the quack individuals have no tilling training background to carry out the tilling activities.
The counterfeit tilers go around deceiving the general public with their fake certificates and identity cards produced from business centres. Following the unfortunate deceitful activities happening in the country, ATN President Olanrewaju has confirmed on drastic measures that have been taken to address the menace of quacks in the tiling profession.
The association is greatly disappointed by the enormous damage and unbearable activities done the frauds to the society and the construction industry and have vowed to put an end to the danger of unprofessionalism facing the construction sector. ATN has as well vowed to continue delivering quality service to the people of Nigeria as they have done in the past and will still deliver in the present.
