Kaduna Going Digital As El-rufai Begins Issuance Of Digital C of O

The Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Architect Bala Bantex who made the presentation of the document to the first set of beneficiaries recalled that in the past, it takes a longer period of time and huge sum of money to obtain land document such as C of O; noting that the process had been made easy under the new arrangement by the State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

He therefore, advised all land owners in the State to endeavor to obtain C of O of their lands; noting that with such document, the value of their lands will increase while it could also be used as collateral to access loans in financial institutions.

In his remark, the Director General of KADGIS, Alhaji Ibrahim Hussaini said,“In the last 100 years in Kaduna State, we have been issuing manual certificates which were subject to many abuses including fraudulent activities but the coming of Governor El-Rufai has led to the appointment of contractors and consultants, GIS Transport which saw the staff of KADGIS through the verifying of land processes in the State.

"We also have the recertification of old certificates programme which also takes 30days. All settlements around Kaduna who do not have any form of certification either by State or Local Government are being registered and given certificate at the rate of N5,000.

Dozens of supporters chanting club songs swarmed the former Chelsea player at the city’s Pudong airport.
