FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has signed 5,481 Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) since assuming office in May 2023, nearly matching the combined total issued over the past 13 years.
According to Lere Olayinka, the Minister’s aide, land allottees now receive their C-of-O within two weeks after payment.
This accelerated process aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu’s administration, aimed at improving efficiency.
The Minister also introduced automated SMS notifications to inform landowners of their document readiness, a move expected to encourage compliance and boost revenue.
