E GBA MI OOO ARA A DU GBOOOOO WHICH ONE BE Excision LAND TITLE

Good response by abaimuyi.
A portion of land is said to be excised if such has been legally released,through a govt gazette,to the indigenous settlers.
Dont 4get that Land use act of 1979 stipulates that every portion of land belongs to the govt and that is why it is mandatory to register usage with the appropriate level of govt.
Excision simply means free from govt acquisition thus C of O could be easily processed on such property.
Opposite of excision (in this context) is acquisition.
Acquisition could be highly committed : (no go area)
Agric acqusition : For agric purpose subject to govt approval.
Acquisition subject to governor's consent : ratification.
Other forms depending on govt plans from time to time.

BE CAREFUL MOST PORTION OF ETIOSA & IBEJU LEKKI AXIS IS UNDER COMMITTED ACQUSITION UNLESS SPECIFICALLY EXCISED THRU A LASG GAZETTE because NOF ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF THE AREA.

Get a surveyor to get coordinate of the portion for proper analysis & findings before buying any land.

The question answered to an extent.

Find All Land Under Excision with Global C of O In Lagos State on http://buylandinlagos.com/

An excised land is a land that has been released by the government to the indigenes of the area who originally owned the land before the government acquired it. This means that the land is no longer under government acquisition and processing of C of O (Certificate of Occupancy) is possible.

Two things you have to know about excisions:

1 The fact that a file number has been given at the ministry does NOT mean that the excision will be granted.

This means that if the government does NOT grant the excision, you get no land.

2 In an excision application, the total area of land applied for is NOT always granted.

This means that if a real estate company applied for 50 hectares of land to be excised, the government may grant 30 hectares. The implication is that those who bought land from the 20 hectares that was not granted will lose their lands.

If they are lucky, the real estate company may compensate them by giving them land in another location but it won’t be the location they paid for.

Dear Prospective Land Buyer, understand the risks involved in such land transactions before giving any company your hard-earned money.
