KADGIS FACILITATES LAND DISPUTE RESOLUTION BETWEEN UNGUWAR BORO COMMUNITY AND YUSUF HOLDINGS LTD

In continuation of efforts to resolve land disputes and promote peaceful coexistence within communities across Kaduna State, a landmark resolution has been reached between residents of Unguwar Boro in Chikun Local Government Area and Yusuf Holdings Ltd.

The dispute arose following the encroachment of land belonging to Yusuf Holdings Ltd by some residents of the Unguwar Boro community. The matter had been in court since 2001, culminating in a judgement in favour of Yusuf Holdings Ltd.

As part of its commitment to ensuring fairness and justice to all parties, the Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) intervened in the matter and facilitated a resolution that included compensation for residents deemed deserving of such consideration.

The resolution has brought relief to members of the community, who expressed appreciation for the intervention. They also formally apologised to Yusuf Holdings Ltd for the encroachment, explaining that it occurred unknowingly.

The affected area comprises approximately 388 developed houses and 139 undeveloped plots.

The resolution underscores KADGIS’ commitment to using dialogue, fairness and appropriate land administration mechanisms to resolve longstanding land disputes and foster peaceful relationships between communities and legitimate property owners across Kaduna State
