The Kano State government has extended the deadline for the ongoing recertification of certificates of occupancy (C of O) by 60 days.

The new deadline is now April 1 as against the earlier January 31.

This is contained in a statement by the commissioner for lands and physical planning, Abubakar Abdulzabal, on Friday in Kano.

The government acknowledged concerns regarding the initial time frame and extended the deadline to allow property owners to complete the process.

The commissioner said failure to recertify ownership documents may result in the forfeiture of property rights under existing regulations.

The recertification process is being conducted at the Kano State Geographic Information System (KANGIS) office.

“Property owners are advised to comply within the new time frame to avoid legal consequences,“ he said.
