“The agency has since improved land administration and other processes related to land with the use of technology and digital platforms.
“It has also led to the harmonisation of all departments dealing with land administration to minimise bottlenecks and enhance efficiency.
“The reforms at KW-GIS will also secure land documents and curtail activities of land grabbers, as efforts are ongoing to digitise and serialise R of O, C of O, and other title documents.
“KW-GIS will collate, gather, analyse and digitise all geospatial data in the state and store them in a central database that can deliver products such as maps, satellite imageries, survey plans, building permits, among others,” the statement read in part.
