KW-GIS GENERATED #900m FOR YEAR 2022: SHITTU



Kwara State Geographic Information Service (KW-GIS) 
generated about N900 million 
in 2022 through applications 
for land titles from prospective 
land owners.
The executive chairman of 
the agency, Mal Mutalib Shittu, 
disclosed this at a media parley 
in Ilorin, the state capital yesterday.
Shittu said the feat was made 
possible due to reforms he introduced to achieve the vision 
of modern land administration 
in line with international best 
practices.
He said full automated operations had made application 
and processing of certificates 
of occupancy (Cs of O) possible 
within 30 days.
The KW-GIS boss announced 
plans by the agency to establish 
additional zonal and area offices in both Kwara South and 
Kwara North senatorial districts to bring services closer to 
people.
“We have kind of stabilised 
the service to a certain extent 
away from the past. We make 
sure the income continues to 
grow while we transition gradually by full automation; bringing all the paperwork into the 
computer, let the computer do 
it. That reduces the time. So, 
what we are trying to do is reduce the time of production of 
C of O to 30 working days,” he 
said.
Shittu, who said that the 
state government could lose 
investment opportunities without proper land administration, 
added that the mandate of the 
agency included proper planning of every community in the 
state.
He said that the new Ilorin 
master plan would be ready in 
the first quarter of the year, 
adding that implementation 
was already going on after due 
consultations, workshops and 
exhibition with stakeholders.
He also said that the agency 
had trained 50 staff in Information Communication Technology (ICT) to ensure effective and 
timely automated operations.
