Ekiti builders seek compulsory QR codes for construction projects to prevent collapses

The Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB) in Ekiti State is urging the government to require QR codes on construction projects to verify professionals, curb quackery and prevent building collapses. At its 19th conference in Ado-Ekiti, local chapter chairman Adebiyi Adeniyi also called on the state to hire professional builders for public projects. Speakers advocated digital tools such as BIM and the Internet of Things, along with ongoing training, ethical standards and the use of appropriate building materials.
