As Cross River State accelerates its transition toward digital governance, Nugi Technologies Nigeria Ltd stands at the forefront of this transformation. On July 15, 2025, the company presented the Surveyor's Platform, a digital solution developed to streamline survey lodgement processes and modernise land administration workflows across the state.
The session brought together key stakeholders in the geospatial sector, including the Surveyor General of Cross River State Surv. Patrick Edet, Former Surveyor General, Surv. Eyo Oku, practicing surveyors, and members of the Nugi Technologies team. Leading the presentation were Mr. Godswill Adie, Chief Technology Officer, and Samuel Ekong, Software Engineer, both of whom played key roles in designing and developing the platform.
In his opening speech, Surv. Patrick Edet encouraged all practicing surveyors to adopt the platform fully to ease their workflows, ensure faster delivery, and support the creation of a state database and cadastre for effective mapping and planning.
This milestone is part of Cross River State’s broader digitisation agenda, aimed at improving transparency, efficiency, and traceability in public service delivery, especially within land-related workflows.
Designed with both government efficiency and user experience in mind, the Surveyor General Platform provides licensed surveyors with a secure, end-to-end digital system for managing survey lodgements, eliminating the delays, inconsistencies, and congestion associated with manual processing.
Access to the platform is granted by the Office of the Surveyor General (OSG), which assigns each surveyor a unique login and temporary password. Upon first login, users are prompted to change their password for added security. Once signed in, the dashboard offers a complete overview of their activity, showing pending, submitted, and approved lodgements.
Step-by-Step Lodgement Workflow
- Payment & Wallet System
Each lodgement requires a fee. The platform features a wallet system that allows users to fund their accounts using integrated payment gateways. Bulk payments are supported, and once successful, the wallet is instantly credited for seamless processing. - Request Lodgement
Surveyors begin by entering the client's TIN which will bring up all information concerning the client - Create Lodgement & Upload Coordinates
Surveyors then proceed to complete the lodgement form and upload necessary documents and the corresponding coordinate data (typically in Excel or CSV format). - Submit Lodgement
Upon submission, the platform assigns a unique tracking ID and routes the lodgement through the internal review process. During this process, an email is sent to the client when necessary.
Real-Time Tracking & Smart Communication
The platform provides real-time updates at every stage of the lodgement lifecycle. Surveyors and clients (in the client's dashboard) can view progress, respond to queries, and receive feedback directly within the system, eliminating the need for physical follow-ups or repeated office visits.
The presentation concluded with a Q & A session. Participants gave feedback about the platform. The Nugi Technologies team addressed these concerns, reaffirming their commitment to continuous improvement.

“We built this platform not just to digitise the process, but to give structure, transparency, and ease to everyone involved, from field surveyors to final approvers,” said Mr. Godswill Adie, CTO, Nugi Technologies.
The platform aligns with Cross River State’s mission to create a digitally enabled public service. Its modular architecture makes it scalable, with room to grow as future needs evolve.
The feedback from stakeholders was overwhelmingly positive, with many noting the platform’s potential to save time, reduce costs, and build greater trust in government service delivery.
As Cross River State continues to embrace digital transformation, the Surveyor's Platform represents a major step forward in reimagining land administration, and Nugi Technologies is proud to be powering that future.
