Cadastral Survey Business Development in Nigeria Using Capacity Overhaul and Capacity Building
Thomas Dabiri
In Nigerian Cadastral Survey Industry Contemporary History: the FIRST CAPACITY BUILT with great success was the CADASTRAL MANDATORY DEPOSIT SYSTEM (CMDS). This has added great value to CADASTRAL SURVEY BUSINESS in Nigeria. It has also brought positive multiplier effects on the personal and corporate economies of the Surveyors in general. It is relevant to state that many of the government policies are still lacking adequate survey input with poor public awareness of Survey as bedrock of meaningful national development. However, Cadastral Survey is still the gateway and open window from which public appreciate survey business with peculiar patronage for Landed Properties Surveys with little or no awareness of other sectors of Survey Industry. This paper will present the CMDS as Capacity Built in the recent past; the need for its overhaul and the need to initiate a new capacity building to reposition Cadastral Survey Business and General Survey Industry for a better link up with the public and other sectors in the Survey Industry for better Land Administration; Good Governance; Sustainability; General and Holistic Management of Environment.
