The Enugu State government has initiated a significant program for the revalidation and digitization of land survey records, a move deemed essential for enhancing transparency in land administration. This initiative aims to establish a fully digital system that is both verifiable and efficient, addressing long-standing issues of land disputes and corruption in the state.
Under this program, the government is set to update existing records and incorporate modern digital technologies, which will streamline land transactions and ensure public access to information. Governor Peter Mbah emphasized the transformative potential of this initiative, stating, “This is not just about records; it’s about empowering our citizens and ensuring that land ownership is clear and accessible.”
The digitization effort marks a crucial step towards modernizing land management in Enugu, reflecting a broader trend across Nigeria to leverage technology for governance. As the state moves forward, the success of this program could serve as a model for other regions grappling with similar challenges, ultimately fostering a more equitable environment for economic development and investment.
