The continuous survey revalidation and digitization aspect of the Enugu State government’s ongoing survey records digitization programme, which was suspended, has resumed, the government declared today.
The exercise, which will run until the end of August 2026, is a key component of the state’s ongoing digital transformation of its land and survey records system.
The development came to light through a public announcement made by Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO), Enugu State Geographic Information System Services (ENGIS), Chiwetalu Nwatu.
According to the state government, the objective is to establish a fully digital, transparent and reliable land administration framework.
The exercise also forms part of Governor Peter Mbah’s comprehensive agenda for the state’s development.
The government called for the participation of all landowners, estate developers, surveyors and property owners, directing them to submit their survey plans, layout approvals and other related land documents for verification and revalidation.
The documents will also be used for digital identity and geospatial mapping, as well as the issuance of digital land identity cards.
The government said the exercise is being conducted at five designated centres across the state.
The centres are ENGIS headquarters, located at No. 4 Chisomoi Ukpaka Close, Ebe-ano Estate, Independence Layout, Enugu; Nsukka Local Government Area (LGA) Secretariat; Enugu State Ministry of Housing; Enugu State Housing Development Corporation; and the Office of the Surveyor-General, Enugu.
The government reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring an error-free land administration system as part of efforts to improve the management, accessibility and reliability of land and survey records in the state.
