According to her, this is the only way to end building collapses in Nigeria.
At the dinner organised by her family and the institute to honour her in Abuja as the 23rd and first female president of NIQS, she also pleaded with people to avoid cutting corners while building.

“If you don’t sell fake materials, there may be a reduction in building collapse. If you do proper design and it goes through the process of approval and is given the right approval, there may be no building collapse.
“If you supervise a project well, there may be no building collapse. If after you put a building in place, you decide to add more floors on top, then you are calling for collapse. So, all of us have our parts to play to eradicate building collapse in our country.”
Mrs Iortyer replaces the former president, Murtala Aliyu, former Minister of State for Power.
