On September 1, 2026, the Anambra State Government issued a public notice setting a December 31, 2026 deadline for landowners to recertify their old Certificates of Occupancy (C of Os). Failure to recertify by this date could prevent affected landowners from accessing key land transactions, such as mortgages, deeds of assignment, certified true copies, and registration of powers of attorney.
The Ministry of Lands warned that the old land administration system would be shut down indefinitely after the deadline, rendering unrecertified C of Os unusable for these specific transactions. The state is transitioning to a new digital land administration system, ANAMGIS, which requires all land records to be updated and migrated.
Landowners are encouraged to start the recertification process promptly, as failure to do so may create difficulties in accessing land administration services once the old system is discontinued.
