The Commissioner admitted that though the cabinet reshuffle that took place in the third quarter of 2021 caused a slight delay in the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy, however, all processed and duly signed certificates are ready for collection by the applicants.

“We therefore, enjoin the applicants to visit our office at Room 4, Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and collect their Certificates of Occupancy. We also appeal to members of the public to respond timely to our officials when their attention is needed to avoid further delay in processing. We hereby apologise for any inconvenience this might have caused our applicants,” he further said.

“All complaints should be made at the office of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Agodi, Ibadan,” he said.
