Kaduna State Government has introduced new innovations in land transaction including biometric capturing process which requires National Identification Number NIN in all land offers by the government.
Director General of the Kaduna Geographic Information System KADGIS, Dr. Bashir Garba Ibrahim announced this at the flagg-off of allocation Letters to One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty Three Land Holders under the Thirty Percent Land Swap compensation policy for construction of Mando Rigasa Link Road Layout.
He said the land Swap was aimed at relieving the plight of the affected landholders who would continue to enjoy complete waiver of application processing fees of Twenty Thousand Naira and premium of Five Hundred Naira per Square Meter.
The Director General said the land documentation has been made easier and quicker for the land owners to acquire documents and the biometric process was to ensure that no one is short change because apart from other relevant features, a passport photograph of the owner will be captured.
