NBA hails El-Rufai’s land reforms

The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) in Kaduna State has lauded
Governor Nasir El-Rufai for eradicating bureaucratic bottlenecks
which characterised land transactions and administration.
The association praised the governor for what it termed
‘transformation of the lands ministry’, saying the revolutionary
approach in the land administration was laudable.

The Chairman, Sherrif Ndasule, spoke at the opening of the 2017
edition of the annual Law Week.

The Law Week was themed: “Governance, Stakeholders’ Engagement
and the Law in Kaduna State”.

His words: “The transformation of the Bureau for Lands, Survey
and Country Planning, to the Kaduna Geographic Information Service
(KADGIS), in no small measure alleviated the rigour and
bureaucratic bottlenecks which hitherto heralds lands transactions
and administration.

He, however, urged the government to do more in citizens’
engagement in governance, with a view to carrying them along and
giving them a sense of belonging.

“In rising to the needs of the people and the society,
government should, at the same time, engage stakeholders’ and give
them a sense of belonging.,” he added.
