APPRAISING LAND ACCESSIBILITY UNDER LAND USE ACT (L.U.A.)
ABSTRACT
This study evaluated land accessibility under the Land Use Act. The case study area for this research was Lagos state, with a focus on the following local government areas: Lagos-Island, Apapa, Mushin, and Ikeja.
A total of 80 questionnaires were distributed, with 20 provided to each local authority, and 65 questionnaires were collected. The technique for basic random selection proceeds as follows:
A list of 80 potential respondents in Lagos metropolis was drawn from the above-mentioned four local government areas with knowledge of land accessibility, and the final sample for the study was selected using a judgemental sampling technique, which divides the population of a given area in the state into four (4) major local government areas. Simple random selection was used to identify the exact respondents who will make up the study’s above-average sample.
The data analysis and interpretation were utilised to demonstrate how the Land Use Act has affected access to land development in the research area.
The recommendations and concluding remarks emphasised the need of enabling land mechanisms for administering land and making it accessible to the poorest members of society.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background for the study
Access to urban land, particularly for housing, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other urban development projects such as infrastructure and social facilities, is now a source of contention in Nigeria.
Because of the persistent shortage of urban land, prices have skyrocketed, leaving most urban inhabitants fearful that they would never be able to own their own home.
Some people who are able to get urban land, particularly through land-owning families, pay twice or three times the price, depending on how many stories they intend to build. This has a common practice in many areas of Lagos. This demonstrates that the market for land in the Lagos city is exceedingly competitive.
Because urban land is not easily accessible in the city, land thugs are having a field day seizing land belonging to others. Landowners are not immune to the urge to sell the same property to many bidders and even invade government land.
This has made purchasing land in Lagos a very risky venture, especially if the buyer fails to hire the services of specialists to handle the land deal. Failure to hire professional services is most likely due to a lack of funds or ignorance.
