THE HIDDEN DANGER OF BUYING LAND WITHOUT VERIFICATION
For many Nigerians, buying land is not just an investment — it’s the dream of a lifetime. A place to build a home, secure a future, and leave a legacy for generations. Yet, this dream often turns into a nightmare.
Watch the full video on YouTube:
Across Nigeria, fraudulent land transactions are robbing families of their savings. Fake Certificates of Occupancy, double allocation of plots, forged signatures, missing records, and sudden demolitions have left countless buyers stranded and broken.
Imagine spending ₦10 million on a property, only to discover that the land belongs to someone else or is under government acquisition. The emotional pain and financial loss are devastating. Sadly, this is the reality many face because they did not verify before buying.
THE RELIEF: HOW ANAMGIS IS TRANSFORMING LAND ADMINISTRATION IN ANAMBRA
To protect citizens and restore trust in land transactions, the Anambra State Government introduced the Anambra Geographic Information System (ANAMGIS).
ANAMGIS is a fully digitalized platform designed to modernize land governance, eliminate fraud, and make property ownership safer. What makes ANAMGIS different?
Instant Property Verification: You can now search land records online from anywhere in the world. No more relying on hearsay or middlemen.
Digitized Land Records: Over 62,805 land files have been scanned and secured in the cloud, protecting them from tampering or loss.
Authentic Certificates of Occupancy (C of O): New C of Os issued through ANAMGIS come with advanced security features that cannot be forged.
Faster, Transparent Processes: From registration to transfers and approvals, ANAMGIS reduces bottlenecks and increases efficiency.
Conflict Prevention: By ensuring accurate, transparent data, ANAMGIS has significantly reduced land disputes and conflicts.
Just like Abuja has AGIS (Abuja Geographic Information System), Anambra now has its own modernized solution. With ANAMGIS, buyers, investors, and even the government can have confidence that property records are genuine, secure, and reliable.
