Esv Sulyman, said the Agency achieved this feat as a result of the transition to the automation system embarked upon by the present administration in ensuring proper administration and management of land and buildings in the State.

While 238 survey reports were processed, produced and sent to the Lands Directorate for the processing, production and approval of the grant of Statutory Rights of Occupancy (RofO).

ESV. Sulyman said that the ongoing reform and  automation of land administration in the State, embarked upon by His Excellency Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's led administration has helped the Agency to accelerate the process and this will continue to boost the State's internally generated revenue.
