Ayeni, Olubodun O. & Oluwaseun S. Adewale
Our various levels of government handle a colossal amount of data which are needed to perform critical tasks in state administration for equity and good governance in a most efficient manner. However this may not be realizable where available data cannot be matched with necessary management tools to create desired results. With the increasing functions of Local Government authorities for instance, it is required to operate with optimal efficiency to be able to satisfy the ever increasing needs of its residents. There is therefore need for a management system that will bring about desired effectiveness in the administration. The Geographical Information System (GIS) already provides the required data management capabilities for land administration. This paper looks into this Systemms application to rent management, being one of the most critical revenue generating means for any county or local authority. It developed procedures and methods for its implementation vis---vis building required database, developing relevant userss applications, and planning for the long-term maintenance of the System and its ancillary tools. For this study, a sample application was developed for the Lagos Mainland L/G Area in Nigeria. The paper notes the role of GIS as a veritable application tool in the administration of tenement rate in any geographical area.
