Amend constitution: Federal Land Registry, Land Use Act Must Be Disbanded Ambode by Blue3k(m): 10:36pm On Jul 14, 2017 |
The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Friday described the continuous operation of the Federal Land Registry in Lagos as an aberration which the current ongoing constitutional amendment process must address in line with the principle of fiscal federalism.

Don't trust these state governors any restructuring without fiscal automony is a joke. Eliminate joint account provision The call for decentralized police force is excellent. Local policing by local government would be great. The land use act is stupid the people should hold their own land and mineral rights not government. State and local government regulating land is much better. I don't agree with special status call. You used to be a capital so what. Your taxes from population and infrastructure projects should accomadate population growth. This is just self serving measure and rightly tossed in busses by NASS as whole.

While I agree with Ambode that the Land Use Act needs to go, I strongly disagree with his suggested replacement. Why should the state governors, using the legislatures they control, be given even more freedom to act like mini-dictators? What needs to replace the Land Use Act is to make clear and easy provision for individuals to acquire perpetual title to land, and to then dispose of said land as they please, whether by sale, gifting it or whatever. It should be made much harder for politicians to interfere with individual property rights except where eminent domain clearly applies, and een then individuals should be entitled to receive fair market value (as assessed by an agency independent from the government) for the land taken from them. Of course, all of the above is what one would wish for in a sane country whose leaders are actually serious about making the citizens lives better, rather than merely searching for new opportunities to steal. As such I don't expect any governors, senators or house members to come forward in favor of individual land rights. 30 Likes 3 Shares |

Blue3k:I agree, the state governors are not to be trusted, and they are already too powerful, running their states as one-man shows thanks to toothless LGAs and compliant state legislatures. Any restructuring that doesn't devolve as much power down to the lowest possible levels of government will be a failure in the long term, and the funding of both state and local governments needs to shift from reliance on federal allocations to taxation: LGAs which can't or won't raise the necessary taxes to fund their own operations should simply be merged with others, so that we don't end up with a situation in which LGA elections also become "do or die" affairs because everybody wants their chance to steal "free" money from Abuja. 20 Likes 4 Shares |

Blue3k: He is wrong! Land should go to the people or their local communities not the state (except for small strategic areas designated as federal lands for national security). I was in Lagos not too long ago and I found out that the state raises revenue via taxes and then turns around gives it to the local governments. So dumb. LGA's should be able raise their own revenue and provide services for their own constituents. This way you encourage civic participation by the people and reduce the possibility of money passing through many hands further reducing the possibility of corruption. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Anyway before I forget his stance on state creating as many local Government as they please is correct. If the allocation system wasn't in effect it wouldn't matter. Stopping allocations in general best policy but I doubt anyone will go for it yet. davidif: Crazy system that's would need another constitutional amendment since it's part of statutory funding. Anyway local government completely dependant on federal government to survival generating less that 10% IGR. The system need to be scrapped so they can be useful. omohayek: Yeah it makes no sense for constitution to dictate number of LGAs. Most of them have no business existing. I don't completely agree with Pushing LGAs out of allocation process since there's precedent of states taking out of local government allocation and usurping their duties. I will admit having no allocation will make them lean and mean. It will work out for best if they pretend money didn't exist. We should get rid of all allocation but nobody in politics want that yet.

I wish more Nigerians were really passionate about this issue cos property rights is the most foundational building block of any successful economy. Without it, the society will continue to be poor and massive inequality will continue to reign in the land. If there was any thing all Nigerians should be up in arms about it's should be this issue. Someone needs to explain this topic so that the common man can understand this. That if I find gold (Or oil) on my land, it's mine and not the govts. As long as I pay property taxes on the land to the local govt I am good. The govt has no right to come and take it from me. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

davidif:My guess is that most Nigerians don't recognize the problem because most of them have never lived under a system in which private property rights have been treated seriously, especially rights to land. That's why it seems normal to them that state governors should get to decide who to hand out certificates of occupancy to, as if they were kings in medieval Europe. 8 Likes |

The land use act where all lands belong to the government can no longer work. That's how Rochas basterdised people's properties because him wan build road and we still never see the road. Don't mistake this post for me saying city plans should not be adhered to, far from it 7 Likes 1 Share |

Hia. All still emphasised on restructuring If the constitution is being amended, it's time you involve the youth even in the street. Use the media to broadcast the opinion of Nigerians at the grassroots level. I can assure you that this will be of great help. All these laws you establish will now be effective if you don't get the feedback from the masses. They feel the heat, they should know better. |
