The State Commissioner for Lands, Surveys and Urban Development, Chief Emamusi Obiodeh gave the assurance while speaking to journalists on the vision of the Ministry in Asaba.

Obiodeh told members of the public that following the Governor’s resolve to serve Deltans through his well articulated vision embedded in the M.O.R.E Agenda, has repositioned the Ministry of Lands and Surveys to serve the public with dispatch.

The Oborevwori administration has re-emphasized the need for timely delivery of Certificates of Occupancy and other land documentations as they form a critical and very important requirement for successful business endeavours.
