Abstract
The paper examines the effectiveness of land management in Lagos, with a particular focus on the practicality of the 30-days governor's consent and certificate of occupancy procurement regime. This regime was introduced to facilitate the documentation and registration for housing delivery in the state. However, despite reducing the time required for processing and granting the certificate of occupancy, this policy has not resulted in significantly increased application nor has it had a significant effect on housing delivery in the state. In other to remedy this, the authors recommended large reductions in the charges made and other cost of the process, (especially the decentralization of the land registry and the use of the updated technology).
