Jalingo Taraba – May 2, 2025
In a significant move to modernize land administration, Governor Dr. Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has issued Executive Order No. 1 of 2025, merging the Bureau for Lands and Surveys into the Taraba Geographic Information Services (TAGIS). This restructuring aims to enhance efficiency, transparency, and service delivery in land management across the state.
Under the new directive:
The Bureau for Lands will now function as a department within TAGIS.
The Director of Lands has been reassigned as Technical Adviser on Land Records, Compliance, and Physical Inspections within TAGIS.
TAGIS will assume responsibility for all digital land reforms, certificate processing, surveying, and title management in the state.
Governor Kefas emphasized that the reform is centered on competence and vision, stating, “Taraba must move with the times. We are building a future-ready system that will outlive us and empower future generations.” He assured civil servants that no one would lose their job, but all must align with the state’s digital transformation agenda.
A Transition Committee has been established to oversee the smooth implementation of the directive. The public is advised to direct all land-related inquiries to TAGIS henceforth.
