Ogun, NOA Team Up to Fight Land Scam Crisis

The Ogun State Bureau of Lands and Survey is joining forces with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to stop the rising problem of illegal land sales and fraud in the state.


Public Education is Key

During a recent visit to the Bureau’s office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, the Special Adviser and Director-General, Segun Fowora, welcomed the NOA team. The visit was led by the NOA State Director, Oyebisi Andrew.

Fowora explained that many people lose their money to fake land agents because they don’t understand the right steps for buying land. He said the Bureau hopes this new partnership will help educate the public and prevent them from falling into the hands of fraudsters.


Joint Effort to Protect Residents

Fowora said the Bureau is happy to work closely with NOA. He added that the state has already set up a task force to fight back against illegal land grabs.

Adedeji Adewale, Director of Land Services, said the structure of NOA makes it easy to reach people in both towns and villages. He believes this will help spread the message quickly and clearly.

In her remarks, Oyebisi Andrew of NOA said the agency plans to involve traditional leaders, youth groups, and other key figures to spread the word.


Campaign Tools Ready
