Lagos Land Bureau Creates Help-Desk To Fast Track Treatment Of CofO Applications

Applicants who have applied for Certificates of Occupancy, and whose applications were not concluded due to absence of essential documents, will heave a sigh of relief soon, as the Lands Bureau has created a dedicated Help- Desk for uncompleted Applications.

In a statement signed by the Public relations Office of the Bureau, this became necessary considering the avalanche of uncompleted and abandoned applications, which were associated with the non-submission of vital information and other documents by applicants.

The Permanent Secretary, Lagos Land Bureau, Mr. Bode Agoro, who gave the hint reiterated the commitment of the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration towards prompt signing and release of Certificates of Occupancy to residents, thereby ensuring that they have Titles to their landed properties.

He assured that the exercise, which kicks – off this week, is expected to clear the backlog of uncompleted applications for Certificates of Occupancy, and encourage applicants with outstanding applications in the Bureau to take advantage of this auspicious process put in place by the Lagos State Government.

The Permanent Secretary, however, beckon on all and sundry to appreciate the noble gesture of Ambode, who has signed and approved the release of 3,200 Certificates of Occupancy between September, 2015 and November, 2015.
