Land matters in Nigeria are primarily regulated by the Land Use Act of 1978, which vests all land ownership in each state under the control of the state governor. Through agencies like the Lands Bureau, Ministries of Lands, and the Office of the Surveyor-General, individuals can acquire Certificates of Occupancy (C of O), register land titles, and conduct property valuations. State planning authorities also regulate urban development by granting building permits and enforcing zoning laws. These services help prevent land disputes, promote investment in real estate, and support orderly development, making it easier for Nigerians to own and develop property with confidence.
