Getting a land excised is a very tedious process that requires lots of funding. And you know, sometimes to get things done in Nigeria you need to have connections.

PROCESS OF OBTAINING LAND EXCISION IN LAGOS STATE

The process starts with

1. Applying for excision: This starts with the submission of an official excision request to the Land Use Allocation Committee of Lagos State. This application is usually done by the Baale or family head. In this application, information such as the family history, occupation, population, land location with the reason why they want the land excised is required. This request is expected to be drafted by a professional lawyer with a reasonable level of experience in excision processing.
2. LUAC Technical Committee: This committee is saddled with the responsibility of administering, managing, and control Lagos state land. After the request has been submitted to the governor of the state with the Technical Committee (a committee under the Land Use Allocation Committee) also gives their positive or negative recommendation. This Technical Committee is made up of;
a. The lands bureau
b. Ministry of Agriculture
c. Ministry of Justice
d. Ministry of Environment
e. Ministry of urban and physical planning.

The technical committee is also to ensure that the land is in accordance with the city master plan.

This processing takes a week after the letter has been received.

3.  Charting of the land: The survey of the land to be excised has to be submitted to the Surveyor Generals office for review. The result from the charted land will reveal if it falls under committed or uncommitted land.

4. Physical Site Inspection: The physical inspection is being done by the Technical Committee to ensure that the information provided is valid by conducting a physical assessment on site. This process takes virtually 2 weeks after the Surveyor General's report has been released.
