Nigeria’s Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the sum of N976,037,330 to automate the process of application for a certificate of occupancy.

Currently, the process for obtaining and signing Certificate of Occupancy is entirely manual. The Minister for Works and Housing, Babajide Fashola told a news conference on Wednesday that he currently delegates authority for signing certificate of occupancy in a manual form.

He said the country is moving forward to automation based on the approval “so that all of these processes can be initiated online, processed online, approved, and printed in a digital form and this will provide also business continuity and retrieval in case of any obstruction arising from natural and other unforeseen causes. The contract for the Certificate of Occupancy project was awarded to IQ Systems with a completion period of 10 months”.

The C of O contract was part of the various contracts worth N103.671bn presented by the Ministries of Works and Housing, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Water Resources.
