They are not doing GIS... What are doing is called Land administration

I suspect Kwara state Land Administration is going to boom seriously very soon.

A company near my office in Ikeja has been doing a lot of research work to do something for kwara state (i assume it's with this agency), all the young chaps in the company are just making mouth as if they want to turn Kwara state to Dubai .

I hope Kwara state succeeds because i dey enjoy Ilorin parole wella
