In the wake of alleged sharp practices in property ownership and land approvals, the South-west Lagos State Government will adopt digitalised Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) in the first quarter of next year.
This is just as the state government has received over 4,300 petitions on land grabbing.
Consequently, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has warned land and property permit-approving agencies to live above board.
He made it clear that his administration would no longer tolerate officers engaging in sharp practices in issuing approvals.
Speaking at the maiden Lagos Real Estate Market Place Conference and Exhibition with the theme: “Unearthing real opportunities in real estate, making Lagos a 21st century economy”, Sanwo-Olu stated that residents and real estate practitioners were complaining about turnaround time for permit approval.
Represented by a Director in the ministry, Mrs KehindeTaiwo, Onigbanjo said the task force on land grabbing had received over 4300 petitions with over 2000 concluded in the one year and half of its operation.
