Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has approved a 50 per cent reduction in fees for processing Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) and other land documents.
Chiwetalu Nwatu, Managing Director of the Enugu State Geographic Information System (ENGIS), said on Saturday that the move aims to empower landowners, attract investment, and ensure all properties in the state are properly documented.
The discount, effective from October 15 for 45 days, allows landowners to process titles at half the usual cost. Nwatu added that the initiative targets low-income earners and unregistered landowners who previously could not afford documentation.
He noted that C of Os are now processed within 48 to 72 hours, thanks to full digitisation of land services, which has improved transparency and eliminated delays.
“This 50 per cent cut reflects Governor Mbah’s commitment to inclusivity, investment confidence, and economic growth,” Nwatu said.
