KANO STATE TAKES GIANT LEAP IN LAND ADMINISTRATION REFORMS -

By Abdulhamid Sani

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has commissioned the renovated Kano State Geographic Information System (KANGIS) Head Office and the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning’s administrative block, marking a significant milestone in the state’s land administration reforms.

This development is expected to create an efficient and transparent land management system in Kano State. To achieve this, the governor also flagged off a comprehensive recertification of Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) to ensure accurate, secure land records, protect investments, and resolve disputes.

The previous administration’s corruption, mismanagement, and urban planning failures had created a maze of confusion in the land administration system. However, the current administration has made significant progress in restoring order through reforms that promote accountability, innovation, and sustainable development.
