Lansar Bags CIAN 2024 Auctioneer of the Year Award

Lansar Aghaji & Co., a firm of Estate Surveyors, Valuers & Auctioneers has won the   auctioneering company of the year 2024 award,  bestowed by the Certified Institute of Auctioneers of Nigeria (CIAN).

Accepting the award, Chief Executive of the firm, Ikenna Aghaji, speaking at the event held at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, expressed joy that all the efforts put in had been crowned with the honour.

Although the economy is current going through tough times, he however, said  that it was both good and bad for the auction industry, since the business involves disposing of assets of businesses folding up due to the prevailing hardship.

“The auction industry is facing the same thing other industries are facing economically, though as businesses folds up, it’s a boost to the auctioneer. An example was the liquidation of Heritage Bank assets,” he said.

Aside the Heritage matter, the firm which also handled auction sales for Canada High Commission,  the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), among others, noted that auctioneering helps with easy and quick disposal of items at reasonable prices.

Aghaji promised to play the leadership role in the area of mentorship for upcoming auctioneers, expressing optimism that the ailing nation’s economy will soon bounce back.
