KADGIS Resolves 5,000 Land Disputes Under Dr. Ibrahim

Dr. Bashir Garba Ibrahim, the Director-General of the Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), reported that the agency has resolved over 5,000 land disputes and reinstated more than 150 land titles unjustly revoked over the past three and a half years. This announcement was made during a town hall meeting in Kaduna, where he noted that Governor Uba Sani directed KADGIS to address all inherited cases from previous administrations.

Ibrahim highlighted key reforms aimed at enhancing land administration, including the registration and accreditation of land agents, and the requirement of National Identification Number (NIN) and Bank Verification Number (BVN) for processing land titles. He mentioned that alternative plots were provided to communities displaced in Alhudahuda Zaria due to the demolition of 92 houses in 2015.

Additionally, disputes involving the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) Zaria and Graceland community, as well as issues concerning former residents of Malali low cost Kaduna, were resolved, with new land titles and alternative plots issued accordingly.
