Delta Begins Land, Property Registration, Aug 28

Delta State Government at the weekend announced that it would begin land and property registration in the state on August 28.
The information which is contained in a statement signed by the State Director of Information, Mr Dona Obuseh, in Asaba, said the state Ministry of Lands and Surveys had been mandated to execute the assignment as scheduled.
The statement said that the approval for the registration was granted by the state government following repeated issues of land grabbing, property disputes and to put the state on the global satellite map.
It said that the first phase of the exercise would start on August 28, in Asaba, Ibusa, Okpanam, Akwukwu-Igbo, Warri, Effurun, Aladja, Ekpan, Otor-Udu, Ogwashi-Uku, Issele-Uku, Ubulu-Uku, Agbor, Owa-Oyibu and Umunede.
“Other towns and cities where the exercise would cover include Kwale, Aboh, Ozoro, Obiaruku, Oleh, Ughelli, Orogun, Isiokolo, Otu-Jeremi, Agbarho, Owhelogbo, Sapele, Oghara, Amukpe, Abraka, Koko, Bomadi and Burutu,” it said.
It said that other phases would be communicated with dates in due course, while urging the general public, particularly land and property owners, to give full cooperation to the enumerators.
“They must provide the correct information to avoid mix up in the registration of land and property to appropriate owners.
“Members of the public, land and property owners, who, if for any reason their property is left out during the enumeration should reach the appropriate authority,” it said.
