| description |
Nigeria is covered by two major types of
vegetation: (i) the forest types consisting of mangrove
swamp, freshwater swamp, and the tropical rainforest
dominantly found in the south; and (ii) the savanna types
consisting of Guinea, derived, Sudan, and Sahel savanna
covering the middle belt and northern part of Nigeria. In
spite of the rich endowments, Nigeria is still facing a lot
of development challenges. The basic legal framework on
land, the land use act (a federal enactment attached to the
Constitution) has prescribed that all land in Nigeria within
the territory of each state of the federation is vested in
the control and management of the state governor in
question. The inclusion of Nigeria as one of the six
countries benefiting from the World Bank and International
Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and other partner
organizations in this land governance assessment framework
(LGAF) pilot study at this point in time is one of the best
things to happen to Nigeria and especially, to the
Presidential Technical Committee on Land Reforms (PTCLR).
Designed as a diagnostic instrument for rapid national
evaluation of various aspects of land governance, the LGAF
is to be implemented by in-country experts. The LGAF study
started in February 2011 in Nigeria. The Nigerian study
included a complementary module on large scale land
acquisition (LSLA) with 16 dimensions. |
