WELCOME ADDRESS BY THE DIRECTOR OF LANDS AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, FEDERAL MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, ESV. ALABI COLLINS, FNIVS AT THE NATIONAL LANDS REGISTRATION AND DOCUMENTATION PROGRAMME HELD ON 19TH MARCH 2025, AT TRANSCORP HILTON HOTEL, ABUJA

PROTOCOLS:

1.0    Distinguished Governors, Honourable Ministers, Directors, World Bank Group and Participants.

2.0    It is with great joy and honour that I stand before you today to welcome you all to this important National Lands Registration and Documentation Programme. This programme marks a significant milestone in our effort to strengthen Nigeria’s land administration system. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all our distinguished guests and stakeholders who have taken the time to be here today.

3.0    Today’s high-level workshop is aimed at sensitization on the benefits of National Land Registration and Documentation Programme. It is not intended to usurp or invade the constitutional powers of the State as custodians of land but to seek the support and cooperation of all States for the successful implementation of a National Lands Registration and Documentation programme in Nigeria.

4.0    This initiative is not just a government-driven programme but a collective effort that requires the cooperation of all stakeholders. State Governments play critical roles in land administration, and we encourage their full participation in aligning their systems with not only national standards but global best practices. Likewise, the private sector and financial institutions must support this process by integrating digital land records into mortgage and real estate transactions.

5.0    On this note, I wish to express my profound gratitude to our partners, facilitators and organizers for their dedication to making this workshop a reality. The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development remains committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure that land registration in Nigeria is efficient, secure and beneficial to every citizen.

6.0    Once again, I welcome you all and looking forward to a productive and impactful deliberation.
Thank you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
