Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has warned residents of the state who want to process their Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) to follow due process through the ministry involved, rather than engaging the services of some fraudulent agents.
Akeredolu while speaking in Akure on Tuesday, however, disclosed that government had no agents or persons certified to serve as intermediary in the processing of landed property between the people and government.

The governor, who spoke through his commissioner for Lands and Infrastructure, Raimi Aminu, said “we have had complaints about some people, called agents, who collect money from people ostensibly to process C of O.
“Unfortunately, these people do not come to the Ministry of Lands to pay the stipulated fees and get the papers processed. Let me clarify it today that government has no agents, private or corporate bodied assigned to serve as agents in C of O matters.”
