In line with the People First agenda of His Excellency, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, the process of obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy in Cross River State has been significantly simplified, making land title documentation more accessible, transparent and efficient for all citizens.
In recent times, there has been an influx of members of the public receiving their Certificates of Occupancy (C of O), following presentation ceremonies held at the office of the Director General, Mr. William Archibong.
Today, more residents, regardless of social status, are benefiting from a faster and less cumbersome process, providing property owners with the legal backing and security they deserve.
A Certificate of Occupancy not only protects ownership rights but also enhances the value of property, making it easier to access loans, attract investments and unlock economic opportunities.
Over the past three years, the Cross River State Government, through the Cross River Geographic Information Agency (CRGIA), has revitalized land administration across the State. This transformation has reduced bureaucratic bottlenecks and created a citizen-friendly system that truly puts the needs of the people first.
Governor Bassey Otu's commitment to efficient governance has brought smiles to the faces of many citizens, as Certificates of Occupancy are now processed and made available for collection on a weekly basis. This reflects the administration's dedication to improving service delivery and strengthening land ownership security in Cross River State.
Pictures attached capture some of the beneficiaries receiving their Certificates of Occupancy, reflecting the Cross River State Government's ongoing commitment to delivering efficient, transparent, and citizen-centered land administration services.
