Vice President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo said the government is accelerating efforts to regularise land ownership for nearly 1,000 residents in Linden who have been living on lands formerly owned by the bauxite company, while advancing measures to clear the region’s housing backlog.
Speaking during his public day outreach in Linden on Tuesday, the Vice President said the lands fall under the management of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) and are being transferred to facilitate the issuance of land titles.
“We’re going to try to accelerate the titling for those people who live on those NICIL lands, and they’re going to work on a special project,” Dr Jagdeo stated.
