WHAT ENTAILS IN THE HAND-BOOK.
Which? Way to acquire, process your title document on any
landed property in the state of Lagos is indeed how to manage your moves with
minimal stress and expense when every individuals are in need of getting their
title documents on their landed properties.
Doing it your self is what the book seeks to achieve with
adequate understanding of how to follow the processes yourself in other to
discourage intermediaries ,falsehood and unwarranted amount of money those
willing to help us handle the processing would be charging . The hand book also
hope to achieve the easy means of disseminating information of processing title
document out and ensure everybody have access to it to guide and direct us
towards an appropriate channels. The importance of this material is to
ameliorate to a barest minimum the challenges of various kinds of land
transaction our people are faced with, transcending on a high side with larger
proportion of litigation of different land disputes in our court of
jurisdiction.
The desirable steps that you are about to take in getting
those documents are worthy of note. For instance, many of our people do not
really understand how land came to being in Nigeria. it is indeed very
important, first, to understand the administrative functions of land use and
its legitimacy, the responsibility of states in the federation and Nigeria
federal government where-with, allocation, relocation and distribution of
transaction and managements of land administration is saddled with.
Also, it give more insights on demand and supply of land
from history in the state of Lagos where it opened discussion on the pattern of
land transaction in the past and what obtains at present with the importance of
having value document in other to protect the right of ownership of landed
property.
It digested the
advent of Europeans before independence, the status of family land and the
origin and destination of land use act of 1978 .The second chapter of the hand
-book on which? Way to acquire, process your title document on any landed
property is also binding on desirable steps of documents ranging from
certificate of occupancy, regularization, consent and schemed lands.
The third chapter coined zoning policy as one factor that
our people must give consideration to before embarking on development of any
landed property, it elaborate on various classifications of land use as a
strong clause that must be aligned in the interest of every individuals that is
planning to erect any type of development within the state of Lagos, providing
succour to various types of committed land by the government of the day and
disseminate information on Lagos state government policy on land with
excesition, incorporated its classification and the reason for such purpose and
why such land is vested on the indigenous people of the state. The information
about how people fall victim of land with acquisition status are embedded,
where it sounded the alarm specifically for those who are usually ignorant of
even reading little piece of information that would have help them through in
their interest of getting the value and security of their landed property and
also, not allowing them fall victim of any kind.
On the hope full
side, the final chapter gave underlined reasons for home ownership status, the
importance of making ‘will’ through solicitors especially for reason of future.
The desirable steps on how to handle indigenous owners, when, how and where. Indeed,
understanding the concession given and the reasons for such, and what it is
meant for primarily as an indication which will help those with the hand book
to actually understand how to manage their steps with minimal expense and
discourage our people of falling victims of those with much interest to sell
just any land.
This leads the author to the interesting conclusion that not
only does information of this kind drives ignorance but help in no small
measures, not to fall victim of those swindlers out there who are bent on
extorting money by trick from our people out there.
Any reason the Author did conceptualize this idea in form of
material for public
consumer guide?
In my usual reporting as a journalist, it was discovered
that many pending court cases that is in our judiciary today has the highest
cases of land litigations of various kinds that are still pending for so many
years in our various courts of competence jurisdictions as a result of
Mis-information, through intermediaries and swindlers of land speculators.
Also, encouraging the people to get value for their home
ownership and curb the unforeseen circumstances by the reason of relocation,
allocation and compensation which are of key reasons this hand -book was
conceptualized to encourage our people to have security of value for their
landed property. And finally, the Author welcomes every constructive criticism
that would build more on the fundamentals’ of the handbook in subsequent
publication.
