Enugu Govt Lists 105 Layouts For Revalidation, Sets December 31 Deadline

The Enugu State Government has announced the commencement of a comprehensive revalidation and digitization exercise for 105 layouts across the state, as part of efforts to modernize survey records and enhance transparency in land administration.

The initiative, being implemented through the Office of the Surveyor General, is under the Survey Records Modernization Programme, which aims to build a verifiable digital survey database to improve service delivery, protect land ownership rights, and eliminate irregularities in land documentation.

According to a public notice signed by the Surveyor General of Enugu State, Surv. Chime Justus U., all landowners, estates, and plot holders within the listed layouts are required to submit their survey and layout documents for verification, revalidation, and digital conversion.

The process will also include the issuance of new Electronic Survey Plans and Certificates to landowners whose records are successfully revalidated.

The government has fixed December 31, 2025 as the deadline for compliance, warning that any layout not revalidated by that date will lose official government recognition. Plots within such layouts, the notice added, will be marked as unverified in the State Land Database.

Landowners are therefore advised to visit the Office of the Surveyor General or their respective Local Government Survey Desks to complete the exercise before the deadline.

Among the layouts listed for the exercise are Independence Layout (Phases I–III), Central Business District (Old GRA), Emene Industrial/Residential Layout, Idaw River Layout, Golf Annex, Heritage Estate, Valley Estate, Maryland Estate, Ebeano Estate, Platinum Estate, and Sunrise Estate, among others.

The notice further stated that the full list of all 105 affected layouts is available at the Office of the Surveyor General and on the official government notice board.
