Here's the breakdown of the difference between a C of O (Certificate of Occupancy) and Governor's Consent in Nigeria:

Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)

What it is: A legal document issued by the state government granting the holder the right to occupy and use a specific piece of land for a period of 99 years.

When it's needed:

When you are the first person to obtain rights to a piece of land from the government.

When you are buying land that has never had a C of O issued before.

Key points:

Grants full ownership rights to the land.
Is a standalone document.
Is issued once per piece of land.
Governor's Consent

What it is: Not a document itself, but a stamp of approval from the state governor on a Deed of Assignment.

This approval is necessary for any transfer of land ownership that involves a C of O.

When it's needed:
When you are buying land that already has a C of O.

The seller needs the Governor's consent to transfer ownership to you.
Key points:

Doesn't grant new ownership rights, but confirms the validity of the transfer.

Is stamped on the Deed of Assignment.
Multiple Governor's Consents can be obtained for the same piece of land over time.
