Registering Property (Kano)
Supporting Economic Growth And Development
The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), in collaboration with the Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KNUPDA)/Kano State Geographic Information System (KANGIS), worked closely to simplify and ease the administration processes for registration of titles to property in Kano state. Reforms including centralization of payment, reduction of time for Government's consent, digitization of land title records and cadastral mapping were implemented to eliminate delays and rent-seeking opportunities as well as fast-tracking and simplifying the process of registering property in Kano State.
