The Bauchi State Ministry of Lands and Survey has secured approval for the creation of additional Directorates aimed at enhancing efficiency, productivity, and service delivery within the ministry.
Estate Surveyor and Valuer, Sanusi Abdullahi, Acting Director of the ministry, disclosed this development during an interview with journalists in his office.
According to him, the new Directorates approved include Inspection and Monitoring, Valuation, and Open Registry, all of which are expected to strengthen the ministry’s capacity in land administration and related services.
Sanusi Abdullahi commended the Executive Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, the Commissioner of Lands and Survey, as well as the Head of Service, for their commitment and support in ensuring that the long-awaited approval was granted.
The approval according to him is a major step in strengthening institutional frameworks for land administration in Bauchi State, positioning the ministry to better respond to the needs of residents, investors, and other stakeholders.
