The Kwara State Bureau of Lands, Office of Surveyor-General, Physical Planning Authority and Directorate of Urban and Regional Planning have ceased to exist as separate Agencies.

This development is sequel to the establishment of the KWARA STATE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SERVICE (KW-GIS) whose law was passed by the Kwara State House of Assembly and was since assented to by Governor of KWARA State, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.

By the new law, all the four (4) aforementioned Agencies are henceforth to perform their functions and duties under the KWARA STATE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SERVICE (KW-GIS).

Under the new KWARA STATE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SERVICE (KW-GIS), the existing Bureau of Lands, Physical Planning Authority, Office of Surveyor General and Directorate of Urban and Regional Planning are to be known as Directorate of Lands, Directorate of Physical Planning and Development Control, Office of Surveyor General/Directorate of Survey and Directorate of Urban and Regional Planning respectively.

All correspondences relating to these four (4) Agencies henceforth should be rooted through the office of The Acting Executive Chairman, Kwara State Geographic Information Service (KW-GIS).
