Federal Government Reaffirms Its Commitment to Digital Land Administration

The Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Rabe Darma, inspected the Centralised Land Repository & Management System (CLRMS), a digital platform being prepared for its official launch and operational commencement, pledging to ensure its full functionality.

A statement released in Abuja by Director, Press and Public Relations, Badamasi Haiba, described the inspection as part of ongoing efforts to modernise land administration and improve service delivery in the housing sector.

The inspection, according to the statement, highlights the ministry’s commitment to deploying technology‑driven solutions that aim to transform land administration processes, enhance transparency, and simplify business transactions within the housing sector.

The CLRMS platform, designed by Messrs. Barnksforte Technologies Limited, is expected to streamline land titling, accelerate the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy (C of O), improve records management, and significantly boost government revenue through a more efficient and accountable system.

During the inspection, the minister stressed that efficient land administration is essential to unlocking the nation’s housing and economic potential, affirming the federal government’s commitment to adopting digital innovations that deliver faster, more transparent, and citizen‑focused services.

Darma noted that the platform’s introduction aligns with the ministry’s broader reform agenda to eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks, reduce processing timelines, and strengthen confidence in government land administration systems.
