Hi akogun2012, I read your topic and I find it very detailed and informative. I just bought an FCDA land in Abuja. A search was carried out in AGIS and it came out genuine, my question is that I would like to ask how can the property name be changed to mine at AGIS so anytime a search is done it will carry my name.

Thank you
