Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has directed that the issuance of building approvals for property without title documents be embargoed.
The Secretary to the State Government, Chidiebere Onyia, in a statement yesterday, said this was to halt unauthorized development and promoting legal land ownership.
“All properties seeking building approvals should possess valid, appropriate, and registered state title documents like a Certificate of Occupancy, old Deed of Lease, Deed of Assignment, Deed of Gift, Deed of Vesting Assent, Deed of Sub-lease, Power of Attorney, and Customary Right of Occupancy before Building Approval should be granted.
