A delegation of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Edo State chapter, arrived unannounced at the Edo State Geographic Information Service (EdoGIS) in Benin City to test for themselves the claim that Governor Monday Okpebholo has not signed a single Certificate of Occupancy since taking office. They left with a different story, and it was one the Governor's critics will find hard to answer.

The delegation was led by His Royal Highness, Alhaji Bako Ebiredelu Dogwo, the Aguma Bassa of Benin and Chairman of AFAN in Edo State, and included the Vice Chairman, Omoriyekemwen Festus. They were received by the Managing Director of EdoGIS, Assoc. Prof. Innocent Ehiaguina Bello, FNCA, PhD, who showed them the evidence. A batch of C of Os, close to a thousand by his account, had just been returned from the Governor's office, every copy signed in the month of September, the latest being 27th of September. Another batch of Certificates and Governor's Consents was awaiting signature the same day.

The visitors said they had come with doubts, having heard widely that no C of O would be signed throughout the Governor's tenure. One member of the group admitted he had expected an old hand who would not take his business seriously, and said he was pleasantly surprised to find a young, hands-on technocrat doing the job so professionally as the Managing Director of EDOGIS. The group said many applicants had been discouraged by the rumour, and that several people they knew had held back their applications. They resolved to call those people and urge them to submit their documents for processing.

Prof. Bello explained that the old Ministry of Lands and Survey has been collapsed into EdoGIS, which now administers land in the state in an integrated modern computerised system. He said he inherited a mountain of unprocessed files, which his team has scanned and investigated one after the other. He then presented the findings to the Governor, who reviewed them and approved corrections. In his words, nothing leaves the office without investigation.

Speaking to residents and the diaspora, he described Governor Okpebholo as a people's governor whose security gains are visible, and said the state is safe for Edo sons and daughters at home and abroad to return and for investors to come. He warned land grabbers and anyone selling one plot to multiple buyers to stop, adding that anyone caught will be treated as a land kidnapper. He urged landowners to register their property and to understand that a C of O carries the full weight of the state, as accentuated by the executive governor. He also cautioned the public not to be cheated in the process of land purchase in the state, noting that the contact information of EDOGIS are on the official website and only trusted representatives should be used.

The delegation appealed to the Managing Director to look into cases of farmland being taken from rural owners, saying they have materials ready for proper investigation. Prof. Bello told the farmers' leaders and the bloggers present that his door is open to anyone who wants to investigate, and asked all to support the government and the state to grow and develop.

The Managing Director of the Edo State Geographic Information Service (EdoGIS), Assoc. Prof. Innocent Ehiaguina Bello, FNCA, received a courtesy visit on Friday, 25th September 2026, from the Commander, 4 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Ahmed Olatunboju Balogun, at the agency's headquarters in Benin City. The visit brought together officers of the Nigerian Army and senior staff of EdoGIS in a gesture aimed at deepening cooperation between the two institutions to achieve improved security in Edo State.

Present alongside the Commander were officers of his delegation, including his Loan Officer and Barracks Maintenance Officer, while the EdoGIS team included the MD of EDOGIS; the Surveyor General of the State, Surveyor Henry Aghedo; the Director of Lands, ESV Mrs. Edith Idehen; the Director of Accounts, Mrs. Florence Adebor; and Mrs. Modupe Egboh, representing the Director of Shared Services, among other senior officers and staff.

In his remarks, the Managing Director described the visit of the 4th Brigade Commander as a significant moment, noting that it was not merely a courtesy call but an opportunity to strengthen the bond between two institutions united by a shared commitment to peace, security, good governance and the development of the people of Edo State. He observed that security issues are ultimately tied to land and geography, since every security concern occurs at a specific location, making the relationship between the Nigerian Army and a land administration agency such as EdoGIS natural and necessary.

Prof. Bello reaffirmed EdoGIS's recognition of the Nigerian Army as a vital institution in the protection of the nation's territory and the preservation of peace, and acknowledged the strategic importance of reliable geospatial and land information to effective land governance, security and national development. He assured the Commander that EdoGIS remains fully committed to cooperation and constructive engagement with the 4 Brigade and the wider Nigerian Army in all legitimate areas of mutual interest within its mandate. He equally called on the Army to reciprocate this spirit of partnership, particularly in matters concerning the protection and welfare of EdoGIS personnel and the legitimate interests of the institution, stressing that the agency's staff are public servants whose safety, dignity and ability to carry out their duties remain matters of the highest regard to the organisation.

The Managing Director expressed particular satisfaction at the citing of the 83 Division in Edo State, commending the Commander's role in the process, and recalled his own field experience working alongside army personnel, including Major General Ugiagbe and other top army officers from Abuja and Edo State, in various parts of the state. He expressed appreciation for the Brigade's responsiveness to matters raised by EdoGIS, citing, as an example, a memo referred to His Excellency the Governor, which received prompt attention. He also acknowledged the support of his colleagues at EdoGIS, describing the agency's directors of Land, Finance and Administration as central to the custody and management of land records across the state, and expressed confidence that the engagement would further strengthen mutual understanding between the two institutions and open new avenues for collaboration.

Responding, Brigadier General Balogun described the warmth of his reception at EdoGIS as beyond his expectations and commended the organisation and discipline on display, remarking that it reflected the seriousness of the agency's leadership and management. He noted that his visit was, in part, a reciprocal gesture following an earlier visit by the Managing Director to his own formation, and presented a unit plaque to the Managing Director as a token of that reciprocity. He described the Managing Director as a friend and a brother, following their shared experience over recent days.

The Commander explained that the substantive purpose of his visit was to follow up on an earlier joint inspection of a proposed site at Irua being considered for a new army formation. The Commander proposed that the options first be reviewed jointly with EdoGIS before being escalated, through the Edo State Government, to His Excellency the Governor for input and final takeoff, given that some of the options under consideration touch on competing interests requiring the Governor's guidance. He thanked the Managing Director and EdoGIS once again for the reception accorded to him and his team.

The engagement closed with a group photograph of the Managing Director, the Commander, and both delegations.

Benin City — The Managing Director of the Edo State Geographic Information Service (EdoGIS), Assoc. Prof. Innocent Ehiaguina Bello, FNCA, PhD, on Tuesday, received a courtesy visit from Hon. Comrade Etinosa Igiebor and Hon. Curtis Eghosa Ugbo, who commended the agency for what they described as verifiable progress in the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) to residents across the state.

Receiving the visitors, Dr. Bello noted that the agency had presented documented evidence of C of O batches signed across different dates, dismissing insinuations that the process had stalled. He explained that the signing exercise had been carried out in phases, with fresh batches cleared and ready for collection.

Speaking first, Hon. Comrade Etinosa Igiebor commended Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo for the pace of reform at the agency, describing him as a leader of considerable intelligence and composure who remains focused on his targets regardless of distraction. He said the appointment of Dr. Bello as Managing Director of the Edo State Geographic Information Service (EDOGIS) is a wise, decisive step that placed a square peg in a square hole, noting that batches of C of O had been signed almost every other week since his appointment. This development, he attributed to delays in the past being resolved now that, in his words, "the right man is in the right position." He urged residents who had applied for their C of O to come forward and collect them immediately theirs are ready.

In his remarks, Hon. Curtis Eghosa Ugbo described himself as a concerned citizen of Edo State and said he was impressed by what he met currently on the ground at EdoGIS. He said the visit had exposed as false certain claims circulating on social media that the governor was not signing C of Os, stressing that the records showed continuous signing activity from earlier in the year through June, July and August, with another batch billed for signing in September. He called for an end to what he described as propaganda against the agency and the government of the day, describing the current administration as professional and deserving of encouragement, and urged the public to come forward and take their C of O as soon as they are made ready after calls from the customer service from EDOGIS.

Responding, Dr. Bello thanked the visitors and used the occasion to appeal to residents to speak well of the state and support the ongoing reforms. He said EdoGIS was determined to prove, through action rather than argument, that the administration was delivering on its mandate to the people. He described Governor Okpebholo as a leader who talks less and does more. Dr Bello then reaffirmed EdoGIS's commitment to working with elected representatives to ensure that the dividends of democracy reach ordinary Edo people and investors in the state as well. He added that good governance was not about eloquence but about meeting the needs of the people, chiefly security and welfare, and called for continued collaboration between the agency, the legislature and the public in the drive to formalise land documentation across the state.

He equally stressed the need for genuine landowners with relevant land documents to approach the Agency to do proper titling of their landed property so as to protect them against land racketeers and land grabbers. He advised the people to always do proper in EDOGIS office with just a little fee before acquiring any landed property so as to guide and guard against land bandits and land kidnappers. He prayed for peace in Edo State and then encouraged all stakeholders with issues on lands in the 18 Local Government Areas of Edo State to approach the agency through a proper formal letter of complaint with supporting documents to the MD of the EDOGIS for proper action. He also used the opportunity to encourage property owners in the state to ensure that they register the land they currently occupy and also pay their land use charges without delay to enable the government to meet up with the provisions of the dividends of democracy, including security and welfare of citizens. He then harped on the importance of making Edo State a hub of all-round investment opportunities so as to create more jobs, reduce the act of criminality, and improve the dignity of labour in the land.

The Edo State Geographic Information Service (EdoGIS) has been honoured with a Distinguished Merit Award and Honour at the ongoing 47th International Conference, Workshop and Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Nigerian Cartographic Association (NCA) holding at the College of Engineering, Kaduna Polytechnic, Tudun Wada Main Campus, Kaduna State.

The prestigious recognition was conferred on EdoGIS in acknowledgement of the agency's remarkable strides in the deployment of modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS), digital land records, transparent land administration and improved speed and efficiency in the processing of Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) in Edo State.

The award also recognises the progressive leadership and developmental initiatives of the Executive Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, particularly his commitment to transforming land administration through digital technology, transparency, accountability and improved service delivery.

The recognition places EdoGIS among government institutions demonstrating how geospatial technology and good governance can be effectively deployed to improve land administration, strengthen investment confidence and support sustainable socioeconomic development.

Award Received on Behalf of Edo State Government

The Distinguished Merit Award and Honour was received on behalf of the Edo State Government by the Managing Director of Edo State Geographic Information Service (EdoGIS), Assoc. Prof. Innocent Ehiaguina Bello, FNCA, who is also the National President and Fellow of the Nigerian Cartographic Association.

While receiving the award, Prof. Bello expressed his profound appreciation to the Board of Admission and Awards of the Nigerian Cartographic Association for recognising EdoGIS as a reputable government agency at the forefront of the deployment of state-of-the-art digital technologies for effective, efficient and transparent land administration.

He described the award as both a great honour and a call to greater responsibility, noting that the recognition would further motivate EdoGIS to consolidate its achievements and remain a leading institution in the digital land information management ecosystem in Nigeria and beyond.

According to him, the award was not merely a recognition of an institution but also a testament to the vision, political will, and unwavering support of the Edo State Government under Governor Monday Okpebholo.

Prof. Bello said the progress recorded by EdoGIS could not have been achieved without the exemplary leadership and support of the Governor, who, according to him, believes strongly in hard work, innovation, accountability and service delivery that responds to the yearnings and aspirations of the people.

He noted that the Governor's commitment to institutional reform and improved public service delivery has provided the necessary environment for EdoGIS to strengthen its operations and introduce more efficient approaches to land administration.

EdoGIS and the Transformation of Land Administration

Speaking further after receiving the award, Prof. Bello explained that EdoGIS occupies a strategic position in the administration and management of land resources in Edo State.

He noted that the agency is responsible for providing a modern geospatial framework for land information management, cadastral control, land registration, property documentation, land-related information services, and other critical components of effective land governance.

He stressed that the digital transformation of land administration is essential to ensuring that citizens, investors, businesses, and government institutions can access reliable and authoritative land information.

According to him, proper land documentation and titling are critical not only to individual property ownership but also to economic development, investment protection, urban planning, infrastructure development, security, and effective governance.

He explained that an efficient digital land administration system helps to reduce uncertainty surrounding land ownership, minimise fraudulent transactions, improve transparency, and provide a more reliable platform for investment and development.

Tackling Land Racketeering and Illegal Occupation

Prof. Bello further emphasised the role of EdoGIS in the fight against land racketeering, fraudulent land transactions, and illegal occupation of government-owned properties.

He stated that the availability of credible, accessible and properly managed digital land records would make it increasingly difficult for land grabbers, fraudulent intermediaries and other unscrupulous elements to manipulate land information or mislead members of the public.

He urged citizens and prospective investors to ensure that land transactions are properly documented and verified through the appropriate government channels before committing their resources.

He noted that strengthening land documentation and verification systems would contribute significantly to protecting legitimate property owners and investors while helping the government to identify and prevent fraudulent land transactions.

Land Administration, Security and Development

The EdoGIS Managing Director also linked effective geospatial land administration to the broader security architecture and socioeconomic development of Edo State.

He explained that accurate maps, cadastral databases, satellite imagery, and other geospatial datasets provide the government with critical information for understanding the location and characteristics of properties, infrastructure, settlements and other features within the state.

Such information, he noted, can support security planning, infrastructure development, emergency response, urban management, environmental monitoring, and evidence-based decision-making.

He further stressed that geospatial information has become indispensable in addressing modern governance challenges because virtually every major development activity has a location component.

“Virtually every development challenge has a location dimension. When we know where things are, what is happening there and how those locations relate to one another, government can make better decisions and deliver services more effectively,” he emphasised.

GIS for Electioneering and Health Management

Prof. Bello also highlighted the broader relevance of Geographic Information Systems beyond land administration.

He explained that the appropriate application of cartography, GIS, remote sensing, and geospatial intelligence could substantially improve election planning and management through accurate mapping, spatial analysis, demographic assessment, polling-unit planning and logistics.

He equally noted that geospatial technology has significant applications in health management, including the mapping of health facilities, disease surveillance, population distribution, accessibility analysis, emergency health response, and the equitable allocation of healthcare resources.

He said these applications are particularly relevant to the theme of the 47th NCA Conference:

“GEO-AI MAP DATA FOR SECURITY, ELECTIONEERING AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT.”

According to him, the theme reflects the growing importance of integrating Artificial Intelligence, cartography, geospatial data, and modern mapping technologies into contemporary governance and national development.

Land Use Charge and Internally Generated Revenue

The EdoGIS helmsman further emphasised the importance of effective land administration in strengthening the internally generated revenue base of the state.

He noted that credible property databases and proper land documentation can provide the government with a stronger platform for identifying liable properties and improving the administration and collection of applicable land-use charges.

He explained that improved revenue generation would enable the government to mobilise additional resources for critical developmental initiatives, including infrastructure, education, healthcare, security, and other programs aimed at improving the welfare of the people.

He therefore called for greater collaboration among government agencies, professional bodies, property owners, investors, and other stakeholders to ensure that land administration and revenue systems are properly integrated and effectively managed.

Call for Wider Adoption of State GIS Services

Prof. Bello used the occasion to encourage other states of the federation that are yet to establish or fully develop state-based Geographic Information Services to embrace modern GIS-driven land administration.

He said the establishment of properly structured and professionally managed GIS institutions would enable states to improve their land information systems, strengthen property documentation, increase transparency, enhance investment confidence, and support evidence-based planning.

He urged state governments to see geospatial information infrastructure not merely as a technical facility but as a critical component of modern governance and economic development.

He stated that states that effectively harness their spatial data would be better positioned to manage urban growth, protect public lands, improve security, increase internally generated revenue, and attract sustainable investments.

Appreciation to the Nigerian Cartographic Association

Prof. Bello expressed his appreciation to the Nigerian Cartographic Association for finding EdoGIS worthy of recognition among government institutions across the federation.

He described the award as a significant honour for the Edo State Government, the management and staff of EdoGIS and the people of Edo State.

He said the recognition would further strengthen the agency's determination to pursue innovation, professionalism, transparency, and excellence in land administration.

He also reaffirmed his commitment to working with professional bodies, government institutions, academia, development partners, and other stakeholders to advance the application of geospatial technologies for national and subnational development.

A Recognition of Digital Governance and Institutional Transformation

The Distinguished Merit Award and Honour therefore represents more than an institutional accolade. It underscores the increasing recognition of the importance of digital land administration as a foundation for good governance, investment protection, and sustainable development.

For EdoGIS, the recognition provides additional impetus to deepen the digital transformation of land information management in Edo State, improve service delivery and strengthen public confidence in government land administration processes.

The award also reinforces the vision of positioning Edo State as a state where credible land information, transparent documentation, efficient C-of-O processing, and modern geospatial technologies support economic development and ease of doing business.

As the 47th International Conference, Workshop and AGM of the Nigerian Cartographic Association continues in Kaduna, the recognition of EdoGIS has emerged as one of the notable institutional highlights of the conference, demonstrating the practical impact that professional cartography, GIS, Geo-AI and sound governance can have on public-sector transformation.

By this recognition, EdoGIS has once again demonstrated that the future of effective land administration is digital, geospatial, transparent, and people-centred.
