The Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), an agency of the state government in charge of land, has warned the general public against reports of ongoing land sales within the areas known as NNPC Quarters, Mahuta, Sabon Tasha, and Kaduna, saying such transactions do not have the approval of the Kaduna State Government and no valid land title has been issued or authorised for the said transactions.
KADGIS also noted that these actions contravened the agreed milestones under the granted Development Lease Agreement (DLA) and are inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 21 and 22 of the Land Use Act, as well as Sections 28, 29, and 30 of the Nigerian Urban and Regional Planning Act.
KADGIS, in a statement signed by the director general on Tuesday and shared with journalists, therefore informed the public that such land transactions do not have the approval of the Kaduna State Government, and no valid land title has been issued or authorised for the said transactions.
“Members of the public are therefore strongly advised to refrain from purchasing any land within the said area unless such land carries a valid Kaduna State Government title issued through KADGIS.
“The public is further notified that any company, group, or individual engaging in the sale or purchase of land within the NNPC Quarters area without the approval of the Kaduna State Government is doing so entirely at their own risk, as no title shall be granted by KADGIS for such transactions.
“KADGIS therefore urges the public to exercise due diligence and verify all land transactions through the Service to avoid fraud, disputes, and financial loss,” urgently drawing the attention of the general public.
“For verification or enquiries, members of the public are advised to contact KADGIS through its recognised official communication channels at No. 31 Ali Akilu Road, P.M.B. 2079, Kaduna.
“This notice is issued in the interest of public awareness, transparency, and orderly land administration in Kaduna State,” it stated.
