The Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) and the FCT Land Administration Department has opened an online platform where payments for its service will be made from January 1, 2021.
The Director/Chief Executive Officer of AGIS, Dr Isa Ibrahim Jalo, made this disclosure at a meeting with top management staff of the organisation recently.
He said the migration to an online payment system is to ensure improved service delivery to the public and to also ease customers’ payments, which can even be made at their comfort zone.
A statement by Abubakar Umar Dembo, Information and Customer Service, AGIS/Lands, said the AGIS Director/Chief Executive Officer explained that the payments would be done through the REMITA platform which can also be accessed through customers’ mobile phones, desktop and laptop.
He said payments for fresh application, ground rent, legal search, payment for premium, power of attorney, deed of assignment, obtaining certified true copy, application for sub-divisions, deed of sub-lease, as well as consent to title registration could also be made.
He reiterated that from January 1, 2021, all revenue accruing to AGIS/Lands would be migrated to the REMITA online platform.
“This action has become necessary in furtherance of the implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and the determination of the government to optimise its revenue collections.
“All individuals and corporate organisations doing business with AGIS and FCT Land Administration Department should note that effective January 2021, all revenue collections are expected to be on the REMITA platform only,” Jalo added.
He assured that the two land administration agencies were already finalizing necessary arrangements to make the migration hitch-free.
He also stated that the migration complies with the TSA Account policy and principles of the Ease of Doing Business of the Federal Government.
