The Borno State Geographic Information Service (BOGIS) has increased its internally generated revenue (IGR) from ground rents and land titles to N1.42 billion.<\/p>\nThe agency said the IGR rose from N14.6 million in 2017 to N1.42 billion last year after it overcame challenges of compliance to the laws of land administration.<\/p>\n
BOGIS Executive Secretary, Adam Bababe, said: \u201cWith the agency\u2019s sensitisation of the public, the title landholders are fully complying in paying their ground rents<\/strong>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\nOn the challenges of land administration, he said: \u201cLife is all about challenges. And without challenges, we can\u2019t say there is life.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that before the establishment of the agency, there was rot in the land administration system, which made it impossible to post better income.<\/p>\n
Bababe attributed the multiple title landholdings to the malfunctioning of land administration for several decades.<\/p>\n
According to him, the triangular decay comprises an unscrupulous staff of agency and the public\u2019s ignorance of ownership of land titles.<\/p>\n
He noted that the most dangerous one is the connivance of land vendors and criminals with the ward heads.<\/p>\n
He, therefore, warned that the criminal elements and vendors conniving to dupe the ignorant general public will be punished.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is why the agency moved to correct the land administration first, before cleansing the system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the people had to be convinced; despite COVID-19 and the economic meltdown, to pay their ground rents and other titles.<\/p>\n
He said that the agency has complied with international best practices and processes in land administration.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
