…Extends re-certification deadline
Kaduna State Government is currently undergoing pro-active land reforms in a bid to sanitise the system and ensure due process.
In line with these objectives, Kaduna State governor, Senator Uba Sani, in accordance with the Land Use Act 1978, has approved the downward review of processing fees for the Recertification Programme by the Kaduna State Geographic Information Service, (KADGIS), among other notable interventions.
The current reviewed fee is now set at N20,000.00 for those without assignment and N40,000.00 for those with assignment.
Similarly, in a public service announcement signed by KADGIS, it was stated that Governor Sani has extended the registration for the Re-certification Programme up to May 2025, and has further removed associated penalties to accommodate title-holders who have not registered yet.
“Furthermore, in line with the power vested on him by the Land Use Act, 2004, the Governor has graciously approved the downward review of the penalty fees for areas declared for regularisation in the State. This downward review is aimed at easing the burden of occupiers of such areas for the regularisation programme to get titles for their property faster and at an affordable fee.
The KADGIS announcement further highlighted the reviewed penalty fees in areas declared for regularization, as follows: “For Systematic Regularization Areas such as NAFDAC Land, Narayi; Unguwan Muaazu Industrial Layout; Police Land at Hayin ?ogo, Rigachikun; Sterling Land, at Mando, Kinkinau, Tudun-Wada; Stello, at Sabon-Tasha Kaduna; Chanchandi Land, at Matagyi Sabon Tasha; NITEL
Land; at Television and Oil Village, at Mahuta.
The current penalty fees are now N80,000 from the old fee of N500,000.

G.R.A, and Karji/Babban-Saura are now N50,000, from the old N500,000 penalty fee.
Additionally, for Special Regularization Areas such as NITR Ungwan Rimi and Gbagyi Villa the fee has been reviewed to N150,000, from the old fee of N500,000 while for Special Regularization Area-2 is now N100,000, from N500,000.
