Oyo State Launches Digital Land Survey Plan Registry, Deepens Transparent and Technology-Driven Land Administration

The Oyo State Government has officially launched the Digital Land Survey Plan Registry (DLSPR), a landmark initiative that further demonstrates the administration’s unwavering commitment to digital transformation, transparency, efficiency, and innovation in land administration across the State.

The Digital Land Survey Plan Registry is a cutting-edge platform designed to modernize the registration, management, verification, and spatial analysis of survey plans. By digitizing these critical processes, the platform will provide faster, safer, and more reliable services to licensed surveyors, land professionals, investors, government agencies, and the general public.

The Office of the Surveyor-General, under the leadership of the Honourable Commissioner for Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Akin-Funmilayo Williams, expressed profound appreciation to the Executive Governor of Oyo State, His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde, FNSE, DSc, GSSRS, for his visionary leadership and unwavering support in leveraging technology to enhance governance and improve public service delivery. The Governor’s commitment to innovation has been instrumental in bringing this transformative initiative to reality.

The Commissioner noted that the Digital Land Survey Plan Registry represents a major milestone in strengthening the integrity of land records, improving service delivery, reducing processing timelines, and boosting public confidence in Oyo State’s land administration system. The initiative will also support evidence-based planning and sustainable development through improved access to accurate and reliable geospatial information.

As part of the implementation process, the training of 40 personnel commenced today to equip participants with the technical knowledge and practical skills required for the effective deployment and management of the Digital Land Survey Plan Registry.

The Office of the Surveyor-General encouraged all participants to approach the programme with dedication, professionalism, and commitment, emphasizing that they will play a vital role in the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of the platform.

Hon. Akin-Funmilayo Williams further disclosed that the digital platform and the training programme are fully sponsored by the Oyo State Government through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Oyo State Government and Private Networks Nigeria Limited. He added that participants who successfully complete the training programme will be offered temporary employment opportunities to support the deployment and day-to-day operations of the Digital Land Survey Plan Registry.

The Office of the Surveyor-General also appreciated the Federal School of Surveying, Oyo, for its invaluable technical support and collaboration, which have significantly contributed to the successful implementation of the initiative and strengthened local capacity in modern land administration.

The launch of the Digital Land Survey Plan Registry underscores the Oyo State Government’s determination to build a technology-driven public sector that delivers efficient, transparent, secure, and citizen-centred services. 

The initiative is expected to enhance the ease of doing business, attract greater investment, strengthen land governance, and position Oyo State as a national leader in digital land administration and sustainable development.
