Governor Uba Sani has simplified the processes of getting Certificates of Occupancy in Kaduna State, as investors, developers and the general public can now get the document within 24 hours.
The Director General of Kaduna Geographic Information Services (KADGIS), Dr. Bashir Ibrahim Garba, said that this improvement is part of the Governor’s commitment to support the Ease of Doing Business in Kaduna State.
Dr Garba stated that: “Governor Uba Sani is one of the few Governors in Nigeria that have achieve this success. He is committed to creating a conducive business environment that encourages investment and economic growth in Kaduna State, provides jobs and improves Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).”
In a press statement issued on Saturday, the Director General enumerated the process to be followed in order to obtain an accelerated C of O which attracts a higher fee.
‘’Upon acceptance of grant of Right of Occupancy perfection of deeds ( in the case of assignment) and payment of all requisite fees, a Certificate of Occupancy is generated in KADGIS.
‘’The draft certificate undergoes thorough quality check to ensure that all errors which were commonly found on C of Os prior to May 29th, 2023, are eliminated before it is printed and forwarded to the Governor for execution,’’ he added.
According to Dr Garba, the Governor will then promptly execute and return the document to KADGIS within 24 hours for scanning, registration and recording at the Deed Registry.
The Director General added that the document will then be forwarded to Conveyance Unit of the Customer Service, which will contact the owner for collection.
