R Of O And C Of O. What's The Difference ?

I've bought a piece of land close to Mararba, Karu LGA in Nasarawa State and the former owner has surrendered to me his original R of O. 
How do I change the title to my name ? Do I really need a C of O? The land is situated .

right of occupancy R OF O is just an offer while a C OF O certificate of occupancy is certified right of your ownership of the said land.

r of o is a weaker title to land and vulnerable while c of o is a superior title and secured. r of o could revoked without compensation while  c of o is compensated for.

so its very important to perfect your land title to c of o after an offer of r of o is given to you. that is why most land buyers are very concern on the title as a c of o always attracts a higher value.

when given an offer of r of o, a premium sum is attached to the offer to be paid for perfection to c of o.


so u can go to the relevant land authority to clarify and get yourself more informed.

thanks
