KWARA STATE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SERVICE (KW-GIS)

In 2021, Governor AbdulRazaq established Kwara State Geographic Information Service (KW-GIS) as an agency to provide modern and efficient land administration in Kwara State.

The agency has since improved land administration and other processes related to land with the use of technology and digital platforms.

It has also led to the harmonisation of all departments dealing with land administration to minimise bottlenecks and enhance efficiency.

The reforms at KW-GIS has also secured land documents and curtail activities of land grabbers, as efforts are ongoing to digitise and serialise R of O, C of O, and other title documents.

KW-GIS collates, gather, analyse and digitise all geospatial data in the state and store them in a central database that can deliver products such as maps, satellite imageries, survey plans, building permits, among others.
