The Anambra State Ministry of Lands has issued a December 31, 2026, deadline for all landowners to recertify their old Certificates of Occupancy. Following this date, the old land administration system will be permanently decommissioned. Failure to integrate documents into the Anambra State Geographic Information System (ANAMGIS) will prevent owners from executing essential transactions, including mortgages, deeds of assignment, and power of attorney registrations. The initiative aims to modernize land records and integrate them into a unified digital database.
