The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, has reaffirmed that the recertification and revalidation of Certificates of Occupancy (CofOs) and other land title documents will end by April 2025.

Speaking at the official commissioning of the Anambra State Geographic Information System (ANAMGIS) on February 27, 2025, in Awka, Governor Soludo emphasized that the initiative is designed to modernize land administration, enhance transparency, and ensure efficient management of the state’s land resources. With ANAMGIS now fully operational, the Ministry of Lands announced that private CofOs will be processed within seven days, while public CofOs for government-owned land will be completed within three to four weeks, provided all requirements are met.

The ANAMGIS project, initiated in 2022, integrates automation, digital mapping, and international best practices to improve land registration, boost revenue generation, and support sustainable urban planning.
