Governor's Consent Facilitation
Governor's Consent facilitation in Edo State, Nigeria. Formal state approval for land transactions, processed end to end by licensed professionals.
Field service run from our Benin City, Edo State headquarters. Projects outside Edo State are mobilised on request, with the same licensed professionals and reporting standard.
What We Do
Under the Land Use Act, you need the Governor’s Consent to transfer a Certificate of Occupancy from one person to another. Without it, a purchase stays legally incomplete, no matter how strong the deed of assignment looks. We prepare the transfer documents, file them with the Edo State Ministry of Lands, and follow the application until the consent is granted and the transfer is registered. We run this process from Benin City, where the Ministry sits, so your file is never handled through a middleman.
