The Anambra State Ministry of Lands has informed landowners that they must recertify their outdated Certificates of Occupancy (C of Os) by December 31, 2026, or face limitations on accessing key land transactions. The deadline was announced in a September 1, 2026, public notice signed by the Ministry's Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Nkeiru Mokwe.
The ministry emphasized that the old land administration system will be discontinued after the deadline, rendering unrecertified C of Os holders unable to process certain transactions through the Ministry of Lands. The Ministry of Lands stressed that the recertification process is ongoing and urged titleholders who have not started the procedure to submit their applications promptly.
To continue accessing affected services, holders of old C of Os must have their documents recertified and entered into the Anambra State Geographic Information System (ANAMGIS) database. The ministry's goal is to update existing land records and incorporate them into the state's current digital land administration system.
