KADGIS ENGAGES LAND AND PROPERTY AGENTS ON NEW REGISTRATION FRAMEWORK

As a follow-up to the KADGIS Town Hall Meeting on Land Administration Reforms held on 18th September 2026, the Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) convened a meeting with the executives of the National Union Association of Land and Property Agents of Nigeria, Kaduna State Chapter, to provide further clarification on the newly introduced registration of land and property agents in Kaduna State.

Welcoming the union officials, the Director General of KADGIS, Dr Bashir Garba Ibrahim, explained the purpose of the registration exercise, its modalities and the importance of ensuring that individuals involved in land and property transactions operate within the established legal and regulatory framework.

The DG urged members of the union to desist from contravening existing laws and regulations governing land administration in the state. He also encouraged them to always approach KADGIS whenever disputes arise in the course of land transactions for amicable resolution, noting that matters beyond the mandate of the Service would be referred to the appropriate courts.

Dr Bashir further called for unity and cooperation among the various factions of the union, stressing the importance of presenting a united front in order to promote professionalism and ensure effective engagement with relevant government institutions.

He added that a new framework for collaboration between the legal sector and the union would be established, with the aim of ensuring that land and property transactions conducted through registered agents are properly regulated and given the necessary legal backing.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the National Union Association of Land and Property Agents of Nigeria, Kaduna State Chapter, Shafiu Salisu Abubakar, welcomed the newly introduced registration framework, describing it as an important step towards sanitising the land and property agency business and bringing about the much-needed reforms in accordance with the law.

He expressed appreciation to the KADGIS management for the guidance and advice provided during the meeting, particularly on the need for unity among the various factions of the union, assuring that the issue would be given topmost priority.

The meeting further strengthened the commitment of KADGIS and the union to collaborate towards promoting a more transparent, orderly and legally compliant land and property transaction system in Kaduna State.
