Edo State Government Takes Certificate Of Occupancy Services To The Grassroots

Habiba Sam The Edo State Government has taken a significant step towards making Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) services more accessible to residents of Edo Central Senatorial District. 

The government has officially launched the Edo Central office of the Edo State Geographic Information Service (EDOGIS) in Ekpoma, a move aimed at bringing the services closer to the grassroots.

The new office, located at the Esan West Council Secretariat along the Benin-Auchi express road in Ekpoma, will cater to the CofO needs of residents in the five local government areas of Esan West, Esan Central, Esan North-East, Esan South-East, and Igueben. 

By providing this service, the government hopes to reduce the challenges faced by residents in accessing CofO services, thereby promoting ease of doing business in the state.At a stakeholders' engagement held to declare the office open, the Managing Director of EDOGIS, Dr. Tony Ikpasaja, assured residents that the agency is committed to delivering CofO services in a timely manner, provided they meet the necessary requirements. 

He emphasized that the office was established to bring services closer to the people, in line with the state governor's vision.

The event featured an enlightenment session on the services of EDOGIS, where top officers of the agency educated stakeholders on the benefits of the new office. 

The stakeholders, including traditional rulers, property owners, and representatives of communities, expressed delight and commended the state government for the initiative.

The stakeholders' engagement was followed by a rally to the palace of the Onojie of Ekpoma and a road show to sensitize residents about the presence and services of EDOGIS in their locality. 

The government plans to officially commission the Edo North Senatorial District office in Auchi on August 6 and 7, 2025.
