Ogun State government has concluded plans to fully automate the operations of the state’s Bureau of Lands and Survey, in order to enhance its efficiency and ensure higher productivity.

Director-General, Ogun State Bureau of Lands and Survey, Mrs. Ronke Sokefun, stated this at media conference to commemorate the first year anniversary of Governor Ibikunle Amosun administration. She said government is already working on deploying a robust Geographical/Land Information System that will aid the production of appropriate maps and documents, adding that about 30,000 hectares of land had been set aside for the New Town Development Project with topographical survey being currently carried out on the parcel of land.

Sokefun noted that the processing of land titles within government acquired land had received a boost with the upgrading of the Land Title Ratification Unit to a full fledge  department, adding that the engagement of external consultants by the government had made title ratification less cumbersome and had also improved the bureau’s revenue generation capacity.
