– Land administration reforms in Nigeria
The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to overhauling land administration through the proposed Lagos State Geographic Information Service (LAGIS) Bill. This legislation aims to establish a centralized, computerized database for all land-related processes, enhancing transparency and efficiency. During a retreat in Ikeja, both executive and legislative arms, along with key stakeholders, expressed unanimous support for the bill, highlighting its potential to streamline building approvals and other land services.
Complementing this legislative effort, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu launched the e-GIS portal, a digital platform that revolutionizes land acquisition and documentation in Lagos. This portal eliminates manual paperwork, allowing residents to verify, search, and apply for land titles online, thereby reducing reliance on intermediaries and expediting service delivery.
These initiatives align with Lagos State’s broader strategy to modernize land administration, improve revenue generation, and foster a more investor-friendly environment. By integrating advanced technologies and legislative reforms, the state aims to set a new standard for land management in Nigeria.
