Lagos State announced plans to launch a digital addressing system, starting with a pilot phase in Ikeja. The project aims to create a unique digital identity for every property in the state.
Launch of the Digital Identifier System
Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced the project during a recent conference. He emphasized that the new initiative aims to improve urban infrastructure management and simplify property registration.
Technological Features of the Initiative
The system will include QR codes and local government-specific color codes, facilitating more efficient service delivery, land documentation, and navigation. Scanning the QR code allows users to access important property data.
Impact on Real Estate Market and Residents
The introduction of the digital identifier aligns with the Nigerian government's broader plan to modernize land administration. The system aims to improve the quality of life in the megacity by enabling accurate property tracking and curbing rental fraud.
The digital addressing system in Lagos will be a crucial part of urban infrastructure management and service delivery to residents. It has the potential to play a key role in facilitating access to property information and enhancing transparency in the real estate market.
