The Government of Imo State, through the Ministry of Lands, Survey and Urban Planning and the Imo Geographic Information Agency (IGIA), has commenced the Recertification of Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) for all titled landed property in Imo State. The Recertification exercise is mandatory for land owners with valid Statutory land titles and will last for a period of three (3) months.

Hurry now and pick up your application form at the IGIA office or any of the following banks: Diamond Bank, FCMB, Skye Bank and Keystone Bank. The IGIA office is located at No. 1 House of Assembly Road, New Owerri, Imo State. The Processing fee per application is only twenty thousand naira (N20,000.00) naira.

Please take note, if you have earlier paid the Recertification processing fee of N20,000, you need not to worry; just visit IGIA office at No. 1 House of Assembly Road, Off Port harcourt road and collect your form and other relevant information will be passed to you accordingly.

The new C-of-O is computer-generated and bears several security features including the photograph of the land owner, all of which ensures a secure, “bankable” land title document that will be readily accepted as by any Financial Institution as security or collateral for bank facilities and other transactions.

IGIA’s recertification exercise will unlock the economic potentials that have been hitherto tied up in the land titles of Imolites, while paving the way for subsequent new registration and regularisation exercises in respect of plots of land without Statutory C-of-O’s and plots of land with Customary C-of-O’s respectively.
