In an address read for him at a short ceremony to open the five day event, the Ashanti regional Minister Hon Simon Osei Mensah implore surveyors
to find ways of embarrassing and mastering emerging technologies and redefine the entire surveying space in Ghana and across the globe.

Hon Osei Mensah lauded the Survey and mapping division for playing pivotal role in the development of lands in Ghana during the days of chaos , litigation and disputes by using LI 1444 to calm the storm and sanitised the process for cadastra preparation for land registration and.
He however expressed optimism that the division ‘s leading effort in the Survey and demarcation of Ghana’s Eastern boundary with Togo will result in the best interest of Ghana.
Meanwhile the MP for Ahafo Ano South East and chairman of the parliamentary select committee on lands and forestry Hon Francis Manu Adabor bemoaned Ghanaians to engage services of qualify surveyors in order to avoid duplication of work and for that matter wast of meager resources.
