The Commissioner for Land and Physical Planning Abduljabbar Umar revealed this while addressing the Media in Kano.
He announced that, the Recertification deadline of 31st January 2025 still stands urging those yet to recertify their documents, to do so before the deadline, in order to protect and secure their land related properties.
Umar explained that, since the announcement of the recertification exercise, the Citizens of Kano State have positively responded to our calls to recertify their land titled documents in droves, “we are proud to proclaim that we have had over 1,000,000 (One Million) distinct Recertification related interactions covering everything from conversion to name change and actual recertification applications.”
The Land Commissioner said, Kano State Geographic Information System KANGIS Service Centre is open for business and is already attending to thousands of people per day both online via our website, physically at our offices and even on the phone.
“We strongly encourage everyone to hurry and recertify their title documents or process the new title documents before the 31st of January 2025, to avoid any unpleasant experience.”
“It is vital to mention the tremendous effort been made to begin Sectional Titling in the State, which is set to begin anytime from now, this will ease the ownership of businesses in a conglomerates as well as in Housing estates, Plazas, Block of Flats and Markets, and will also enhance the IGR of the State.”
