Osun State government has automated the survey clearance process to issue Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) in just 45 days.
Until now, applications for Certificate of Occupancy in the state have been slow and that is why Governor Ademola Adeleke is introducing a new technology to solve this problem through Automation of the Survey Clearance and C of O Processes to ensure fast and efficient processing.
The Commissioner for Lands and Physical Planning, Honourable George Alabi, revealed the steps being taken in this regard while explaining the necessity of survey clearance, that it is the process of a Survey/Land to be adopted, to ensure clear and free of encumbrances of the C of O process.
This process is the preliminary stage of the C of O in the 45-day Programme, which is an initiative of Governor Adeleke to ensure C of O processing is done within 45 days of application.
According to the release by the commissioner, “the state governor is planning to launch the ‘C of O in 45 days’ programme before the end of the year, therefore it is important for all persons who intend to benefit from the opportunity to get their Land/property survey cleared so that they can apply for their C of O when the program commences and get it within 45 days.”
Furthermore, Hon. Alabi explained that anyone with a Genuine Valid Survey for his or her land or property in Osun State should visit landsportal.osunstate.gov.ng and Click on Get Survey Clearance to commence the Survey Clearance Process for better such as business loans from financial Institutions towards improving their business subsequently, rejigging the Osun state economy among others.
