High Cost of Re-establishment:
When some survey beacons are destroyed, it creates new job for the surveyor and new
expenditure to the owner. This affects the owner very seriously because he has the
plan but cannot locate the actual boundaries. He could enter into dispute with another
person if he does not look for a surveyor to re-establish all the beacons. At the process
of re-establishment, if the missing beacons are not accurately re-established, there will
be misrepresentation of survey information, which renders all the records worthless.
(vii) Legal Protection of Survey Beacons
According to Asoegwu (1991), the laws and regulations controlling the survey practice
in Nigeria have adequate provisions to assert the significance of survey beacons. In
Nigeria the survey monuments are adequately protected in the laws, edicts and decrees
of the country, example laws of the Federation of Nigeria cap 194 sections 28 – 33,
offer such protection.
(viii) In line with the law, the following groups listed below are empowered to legally
protect the beacons provided that no beacon shall be placed in such a position that it
will interfere with or be inconvenient to traffic, and building lines shall be maintained
where road form the boundary.
(ix) It is within the powers of the local government, under Land Use Decree (1978), to
grant customary rights of occupancy to any person or organization for the use of land,
within their areas of authority. With this power, the chairman of a local government
or any of his officers shall arrest any body found destroying survey beacons or any
other survey marks and hand over to the police.
(x) The traditional ruler of any community is empowered to arrest any body destroying
survey beacons, and report to the police for appropriate action.
(xi) The occupiers of the properties where the beacons are located should protect them as
provided by law. That is they should report any attempt of destruction of beacons to
the police.
(xii) The surveyors shall report all cases of beacon removal, obliteration or defacement to
the Surveyor-General concerned for appropriate action.
(xiii) The courts should prosecute the destroyers of the survey beacons as and when they
are reported by any of the groups empowered by laws.
