Property owners in Ondo state can now obtain titles for them for a minimum fee of N15,000 and maximum of N25,000 even with the processing and delivery period of the certificates pegged at 8 weeks.

Giving details of the new deal at a Stakeholders meeting   in his office     on Friday, the state Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko said   issuance of Certificate of Occupancy in the state will be done within eight weeks for N25,000 in urban areas, maximum of N20,000 in semi-urban areas and maximum of N15,000 in the rural areas of the state.

He said the   package is as a result of   government’s digitalised Certificate of Occupancy scheme which   he flagged off on Thursday with   some beneficiaries presented with their certificates . He enjoined  stakeholders to take advantage of the scheme because according to the Governor, a house is useless to the owner without the title.

The Governor who assured the people that authentic Certificate of Occupancy is power to its owner that can be used as collateral added that the digitalised Certificate of Occupancy is the best in Nigeria and that Land is a very important resource.

He said the digitalised Certificate of Occupancy has a solid security input that cannot be forged or syndicated adding   that over 14,000 properties have been demarcated in Akure and that close to 6,000 of it has been publicly displayed.
