LASG ORDERED A COMPLETE EXCISION ON UNTITLED LAND ACROSS THE STATE TODAY.

To end the menace of land grabbing in Lagos, I ordered a complete excision on untitled land across the State today.

This directive represents a major turning point in land administration for our state, as the exercise would enable the State Government carry out documented delineation on communal land and land owned by families.

I gave this order at the Lagos Real Estate Market Place Conference and Exhilarations organised by the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA). The two-day event with the theme: “Lagos: 21st Century Real Estate Investment Hub”, is the second edition to be held by the agency.

A technical committee will be set up to fine-tune the framework for the excision process on untitled land, with the objective to granting Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) to land owners for transparent sales of the asset.

I am not unaware of efforts by unscrupulous State officials to frustrate and sabotage the full take-off of the State’s Enterprise Geographic Information System (e-GIS) project.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu,

Governor of Lagos State.
