The e-GIS portal, unveiled on Friday, marks a pivotal moment as applications for land titles shift from cumbersome paperwork to a user-friendly online platform. Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized the elimination of middlemen, reducing costs for applicants who previously engaged lawyers, surveyors, and registration agents.
Residents and investors can now effortlessly verify, search, and apply for various land titles, including the Governor’s Consent, from the convenience of their homes. The portal also facilitates requests for government surveys and applications for Certified True Copy (CTC) on landed properties.
Building upon the foundation of the Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) initiated by former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu and advanced by Governor Babatunde Fashola, the e-GIS portal organizes historical land records dating back to the 19th century. It merges this wealth of information with current land titles, ensuring a comprehensive database of cadastral information for the State.
