Land reform in Nigeria : progress, problems prospects
Mabogunje, Akin L.
The Nigerian Federal Government established a Presidential Technical Committee on April 2, 2009 to undertake the reform of the land tenure situation in the country following on the various problems emanating from the Land Use Act of 1978. That Act conferred on State Governors the custodian right to issue certificates of occupancy for land holders in their states but left out the majority already with possessory rights to their land. The present reform sets out essentially to rectify this and to provide registrable titles to all land owners in the country.
