…trains officers on modern land management techniques
As part of its ongoing land administration reform, the Ekiti State Government has commenced the installation of Continuously Operational Reference Stations (CORS) in five strategic locations to enhance efficient and effective surveys for land management processes across the state
The Special Adviser to the Ekiti State Governor on Lands, Survey and eGIS, Professor James Olaleye, gave the information at a forum in Ado Ekiti
According to him, the new technology being deployed will save time and ensure pin-point accuracy in land management data and will solve a lot of land administration problems including issues of overlapping plots, allocation of one plot to two or more people as well as making land management system to be systematic and consistent thereby puting an end to the age long crises emanating from inefficient land administration processes of the past.

The Special Adviser said the five strategic stations which are located at Ado-Ekiti, Emure, Otun, Oke Ayedun and Igbara Odo/Ogotun would be transmitting signals to all parts of the state so as to allow proper land positioning which will be used to determine the boundaries of plots and will enable the Office of the State Surveyor General to chart land borders properly on the base map and detect any error of overlapping or duplicated surveys.
He explained further that the coordinates taken from the field through the Continuously Operational Reference Stations should be in the same reference system with the base map in the office of the surveyor general.
Prof Olaleye also disclosed that the office has commenced the training of the officers that would use the facilities so as to acquaint them with the new land management operations.
“We have started training our officers.The training we are doing is to prepare them for the job ahead so that they can have the knowledge of how the system is to be run when the mapping project is completed” he said
