The Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) Law, 2015 enacted on 23rd December, 2015 replaced the Ministry of Lands, Surveys and Country Planning with the Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS). The KADGIS saddled with the administration of land in Kaduna State so performs such functions as the issuance of certificates of occupancy, registration of land transactions and such other duties that were hitherto performed by the Ministry. This article acknowledges that although the enactment of the law helps in safeguarding the integrity of land transactions in the State, a lot still need to be done. Some recommendations were therefore made.
