    An Analysis of the Pattern of Land Development and Management in Niger State (1976-2006)
    (The Estate Surveyors and Valuers .Nigerian Institute of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), 2008) Musa, Haruna D.; Nuhu Mohammed Bashir
    Recent land policy reforms in sub-Saharan Africa provided for the inclusion of customary tenure in land administration to improve tenure security for the poor and encourage land development. The failure of formal systems of land delivery to cope with the demands of rapidly growing urban populations has led to households in the urban areas of the developing world living in informal settlements characterised by extreme poverty and limited state capacity. This study analyses the pattern of land development and management in Minna in order to suggest ways to improve the administration and management of land in Niger State. The data for the study were collected from various sources. The design layouts of the built-up area of Minna town for the period between 1976 to 2006 were utilised. An extensive fieldwork was carried out to update information on the plots in the layouts to reflect the extent of development using four (4) classifications: Developed plots, Not developed plots, plots under construction, and plots with cases of prescribed landuse conversion. The extent of development(built-up area) in Minna was computed from the multi-dated layouts. 104 implemented layouts consist of 7,893 total plots implemented, 4,349(55.06%)plots were fully developed, while 2,599(32.93%) of the plots were not developed,672(8.51%)plots were still development or construction, and 273(3.46%) plots were encroached upon or claimed by the natives by reasons of non-payment or inadequate compensation. To mitigate the problems emanating from this, it is suggested that processing fees and other related charges be reduced and consideration given to the masses in the design and allocations, while the undeveloped allocated plots of land should be revoked and re-allocated to those who are ready for development.

    Analysis of the Activities of Land Administration Machineries in Abuja and Minna, Nigeria
    (International Organisation of Scientific Research, Indian, 2014-02) Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Abdulkareem Sekinat; Fabunmi Foluke Olanike
    This study attempts to have a comparative analysis of the activities of land administration machineries in FCC, Abuja and Minna using some selected districts and neighbourhoods as case study areas. Questionnaires were administered to Individual land owners, property developers or plot allottees who own land from ages Eighteen (18) and above as well as interview to some staff of departments of land administration machineries in FCC, Abuja and Minna. Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS), Geometric Mean Model and Linkert Scale were statistical tools employed. Findings revealed that the average growth in land allocations made available to people by government within the study period of 2000 – 2009 in FCC and Minna were191.25% and 29.22% respectively. In FCC, Delay of process and extortion of money by government officials are sufficient reasons why individual land owners will not be willing to process title documents to land. While in Minna, the reasons are Exorbitant Processing Cost, Delay of Process and extortion of money by government officials. The paper suggests among others that land administration officials should abstain from illegal acts during land transactions, government should ensure that adequate income packages are paid to land administration officials and ensures enlightening and educating customary land owners on the need for compulsory acquisition.
