Ogun State Government will, on Friday, December 1, 2023, distribute 5,000 Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) to beneficiaries. A statement, yesterday, by the office of the Director-General, Bureau of Lands and Survey, said Governor Dapo Abiodun would present the certificates to beneficiaries at the Arcade Ground, Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, thus enhancing the value of their property, as they can be used as collaterals, while house and land owners can also take advantage of the state’s proximity to Lagos to maximise value.
The beneficiaries are drawn from the Ogun State Land Administration and Revenue Management System (OLARMS) and the immediate past administration’s Home Owners Charter (HOC).
According to the statement, the beneficiaries, who are to be accredited by the Bureau of Lands & Survey before the commencement of the distribution, would be mandated to present valid means of identification.
“The present administration in the state embarked on the exercise aimed at authenticating land documents of all house owners in the state with a view to adding value to the property and getting the owners to formalise and benefit maximally from them.
“Additional 10,000 certificates of occupancy are in the pipeline for distribution within the next one year, urging interested applications to take advantage of the opportunity,” the statement read.
