Kano Ministry of Land Warns Against Unauthorized Land Deals



The Secretary of the Kano State Task Force on Development Control and Director of Admin and General Services of the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning has cautioned the public against purchasing unverified land in the state.

Speaking during a routine inspection of land activities in Katsinawa and Bachirawa areas of Ungogo Local Government, he disclosed that certain individuals were unlawfully subdividing and selling lands without government approval.

“We visited the location and discovered that suspected individuals involved in the illegal sale of lands had fled the area. However, we have taken measures to secure the site, including placing a notice board to alert the public to cease all dealings there immediately,” he stated.

He urged residents to exercise vigilance when purchasing land, emphasizing the need for proper verification. 

“Before purchasing any land, visit the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning or Kano State Urban Planning and Development Authority to confirm the authenticity of the documents presented to you. Many unsuspecting buyers have fallen victim to fraudulent transactions involving unapproved lands,” he warned.

The Secretary also reminded landowners to recertify their Certificates of Occupancy and other land titles as part of the ongoing recertification exercise initiated by Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf on November 25, 2024.
