This information was shared today, April 8, 2025, during a press conference by Hon. Abduljabbar Mohammed Umar, the Commissioner for Land & Physical Planning. The Commissioner emphasized that this is the last opportunity for property owners who have not yet recertified their Certificates of Occupancy (CofOs) to regularize their land titles.
Hon. Umar warned that failure to comply with the new deadline would lead to the revocation of affected land titles, saying, “This is the final opportunity for all property owners to regularize their land titles. We urge everyone to take advantage of this extension to avoid the consequences of non-compliance.”
The government also plans to promote transparency by publishing the names of significant defaulters in widely circulated newspapers and displaying them at key government locations, including the Kano State Library, Audu Bako Secretariat, Gidan Murtala, and the Kano State High Court.
The recertification process requires a fee of N10,000, excluding any statutory debts. The Commissioner assured the public that efforts have been made to ensure the process is accessible and efficient, citing ongoing awareness campaigns, sensitization programs, and system upgrades implemented by the Ministry of Land & Physical Planning.
