We also tried to examine some Laws regulating ownership of land/properties in Nigeria. We have provided some information on who can own land in Nigeria, how to acquire land in Nigeria (government allocations, estate ownership, individual/corporate ownership and the very contentions issue of family land).
We discussed property documentations e.g. Certificate of Ownership (C of O), Governor’s consent, deed of assignment, power of attorney, registration of title and what constitute title to land in Nigeria.
