Improving land policy for private sector development in Nigeria : lessons and challenges ahead
Butler, Stephen B.
The International Finance Corporation's Foreign Investment Advisory Service has been implementing an ongoing project in Nigeria dealing with business access to land. The project is working with sub-national governments, in particular the states of Lagos, Kano, and Kaduna, to assess their land markets and land administration procedures and devise approaches to land administration that could increase the supply of business land as well as reduce the direct and indirect costs of land transactions. The project entailed detailed study of land markets and mapping of land administration procedures. This paper discusses some of the findings of that ongoing project.
