Dear Gurus,

I bought a land recently around magodo area but my findings shows that the land is under scheme which means it is under government acquisition-committed. Further investigation shows that government can release the land in the nearest future not verified though

Please how is this possible?

Has there been anyone gone through this process and government release the land that was committed before.

What options do i have do deal with a family surveyor who misled me by doing a fake survey?

Please constructive response.

It can be ratified meaning you'll pay more than you even bought the land.

A committed land cannot be ratified except same is declared uncommitted by the Government. When a place is declared a committed area it means the Government has reserved same for a future purpose. That's why it's proper to do a search and/or chart the survey of a property before buying same.

Hi all,

After investigation, i was told that my land in Rivers State is marked for government acquisition.

No government official has/have ever visited us before they came and survey or land and marked as that o!!!! Only for us to go for building permit approval, we were given that shocker of our lives.

What can i do. Site clearing just put on hold.

Don't know left, right not centre to enter.

No sir

Hmm Nawa O!

A Land under Government Acquisition is a land acquired by the Government for its own specific use and there are plans for these lands in the nearest future depending on what the Government intends to do with the land. These lands have been acquired for years by the government and its at the Government’s discretion to release those lands to people who have illegally bought the Land from Omoniles or not depending on if they need to use the lands for a specific purpose or not and if the release of those acquired lands to the people will not disrupt any regional or urban planning regulation.

Meanwhile A Committed Land is a land the Government already has Plans for and most certainly nothing will make the Government alter its mind to give up that land. Such lands include lands earmarked for Government estates, Roads, Government Schemes etc. In fact if you buy a land in a committed Area, you’re on your own because they will never approve the papers and if you build a property there, it will most certainly be demolished.

Committed Acquisition: This simply means that the government has said that on this land they have decided to construct a railway, build a bridge or even a standard stadium. Invariably, there is always a use attached to a land that is a under Committed Acquisition and it is usually stated from the onset such that it is difficult for such land to later become free and be available for other uses. When the land status indicates that the land is committed, don’t deal! Its always difficult to do anything about it.
In one sentence; We should be wary dealing in such land

According to Land Bureau website “Ratification (now referred to as Regularisation) is a policy of grace that avails squatters on uncommitted Government Land, the opportunity to obtain legal title to the land encroached upon from the State Government. It is the process of allocating Government land to someone who had previously occupied landed property without lawful authority from the State Government”

Regularisation is subject to two (2) basic conditions:

(i) That the property must not be situated in a Government Scheme, Estate or Committed Area; and

(ii) The property must be situated within an area that conforms with Urban and Regional Planning regulations and standards of the State.

Regularization in other words is a process whereby illegal owners of lands in areas under Government acquisition that are not Committed lands are given the opportunity to obtain a legal title to the land encroached or trespassed upon from the State Government.

To simplify it, it means the process of allocating Government Land to someone who had previously occupied landed property without lawful authority from the State Government but it is subject to 7 Conditions:

1. That the property must not be situated in a Government Scheme, Estate or Committed area

2. The Property must be situated within an Area that conforms to Urban and Regional Planning Regulations and Standard of the State.

3. The Appropriate Set back of the Land must be observed.

4. The Appropriate distances from drainages, Canals, NNPC pipelines, Gas Pipelines, NEPA transformers, High Tension Wires, Water Pipelines and other restrictions laid down by the Physical Planning and Town Planning

5. The land must not fall on road Alignment

6. The land must not fall within a Committed Government Area

7. The Land must fall within the Permitted Regularization Areas

Good

Dear Gurus,

Please constructive response.

Cut your loses and focus on the surveyor. Take him to court to re-coup your money. Before you buy any land in Lagos, call a registered surveyor and the status of the land can be verified instantly.
