: Hon. Commissioner for Lands & Physical Planning Holds Press Conference, Cautions Against Unauthorised Temporary Land Allocations

The Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Land & Physical Planning, Hon. Dr. Ibrahim Shehu Turaki (Wakilin Gombe), earlier today convened a Press Conference to clarify the position of the Gombe State Government on the illegal encroachment and allocation of Government lands, particularly road setbacks, road reserves and other designated public spaces.

Dr. Turaki cautioned against temporary allocations or related documents issued by institutions outside the established land administration framework, stressing that such documents do not, on their own, confer statutory ownership or a Right of Occupancy.

He further stated that road setbacks, road reserves, public infrastructure corridors and lands granted to Government agencies for specific purposes must be protected and cannot be independently reallocated, subdivided or disposed of by any agency or Government parastatal without the requisite approval of His Excellency, the Governor.

Members of the public, developers and investors were therefore advised to verify the status of any land with GOGIS before making payments, entering into transactions or commencing development.

The measure forms part of the administration of His Excellency, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, to protect public assets, minimise land disputes and strengthen transparency, accountability and public confidence in Gombe State’s land administration system.

The briefing was attended by the Overseeing Director-General (ODG) of GOGIS, alongside senior technical officials from GOGIS, the Office of the Surveyor-General and the Ministry of Land & Physical Planning, reflecting the Government’s coordinated approach to strengthening land administration and physical planning across the State.
