1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study of the Land Use Act No. 6,
1978 with eight (8) parts and fifty one (51) sections is the most
significant land policy currently in force in Nigeria. The study will be
of benefit to the government of its planning control and property
acquisition procedures.
Most intending property development are
scared by the compensation technique if a property is revoked by the
governor for overriding public interest, hence, this study will assist
the developers for prudent appraisals.
State surveyors and values
coded apply the result of this research. Work in their future valuation
for compulsory acquisition and in their advisory role to the public.
Students and lecturers in Estate management Professional will not find
this work insignificant as it explained areas of controversy in this
act.With this input in Estate Management Professional, property
developers will increase geometrically as recommendations preferred in
this work will improve the compensation receivable by.
1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
This
work unraveled the roles of Land Use Act in property development in
Enugu Urban. Four zones of Okpara Avenue, New Haven, Achara Layout and
Ogui layout are sampled due the large land mass.
These four zones are
where property developments are more pronounced. Although lands within
Enugu Urban are revoked by the public bodies for overriding public
interest without putting it for what it was revoked for. The scope of
the study therefore uses the four zones to represent other areas in
Enugu urban where property developments take place.
Such rights of
communal land owner and property owners were usurped by the government
thereby reducing their rights of occupancy to 99 years lease instead of
allodia or absolute ownership.
This research work was highly tideous,
though extremely educative. The researcher therefore, encountered
constraints during the course of this project especially finance, which
made him redistrict the study to certain areas.
Again time factor
limited this study as I shared time among the project and other academic
work. More so, the commitments of the researcher to the welfare of
Estate Management Association (EMA) IMT as the president slightly
delayed this work.
The provisions of the Land Use Act are too
extensive to be compressed into few pages. For the purpose of this
study, only the arrangements of sections and the provisions pertaining
to valuation and its effects are covered.
Although the scope of this work was limited by time and finance, the researcher was able to carry out the work to completion.
