The Anambra State Government has set December 31, 2026, as the final date for landowners to recertify their old Certificates of Occupancy (C of O). Failure to comply with the deadline could prevent individuals from conducting key land transactions. The State Ministry of Lands announced this directive in a public notice dated September 1, 2026.
Old land administration processes will be discontinued after the deadline, rendering unrecertified C of Os unusable for transactions like mortgages, Deeds of Assignment, Certified True Copies, and registration of Powers of Attorney. The recertification process is ongoing, and landowners are advised to submit applications promptly.
The ministry aims to update existing land records and integrate them into the state's digital land administration system via ANAMGIS. Failure to recertify will only restrict access to specified transactions, not automatically invalidate the C of O.
