Maiyaki urged the management of the agency to continue to be up and doing to move the agency forward.

“We also want to assure you of our continued determination to support and synergize with you to take the agency and the ministry to the next level of development,” he added

According to the Director General, NAGIS, Sonny Agassi “Our expected revenue for 2022 stands at over N600 million but I want to tell you that from January to June 2022, we have generated over 536 million.

“We want to thank you and His Excellency, Gov. Abdullahi Sule for your support.

“I want to assure you that we will continue to be up and doing in generating more revenue to the coffer of the state government.“

The Director General told the committee that the mandate of the law establishing the agency was to process grants of statutory Rights of Occupancy, issue Certificates of Occupancy among others
