The National Identification Authority (NIA) and the Lands Commission are working together to eliminate needless middlemen from land registration.

In order to ensure direct connection with grantors and grantees rather than depending on intermediaries, they intend to use the Ghana Card to authenticate them.

At the Annual Briefing, Benjamin Arthur, the Commission’s Acting Executive Secretary, discussed this. By working together, the Commission will be able to update all parties immediately, increasing efficiency and decreasing the need for middlemen in the land registration process.

“We may well get to the point of “No GhanaCard, No Registration,” he noted. “A lot of progress has been made at efforts to improve the process of registering titles.”

“Additional features introduced in the plan approval process will make it possible for the publication of title applications to be undertaken very early upon receipt of such applications.”

During the ceremony, the Commission unveiled its five-year Business Strategic Plan (2023–2027), which outlined objectives such as strengthening corporate image, fostering staff competency for improved service delivery, implementing digital changes, and ensuring financial sustainability.

Better services are essential to the corporate image campaign’s success, Mr. Arthur stressed. In order to accomplish these goals, cooperation is essential.

Mr. Benito Owusu-Bio, Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, gave an overview of the Ministry’s intentions, which include building a new office by April 2024 and implementing a digital transformation. He also expressed trust in the Commission’s leadership.
