dc.description.abstractThe land use decree number 6 of March 29 1978 was aimed at solving the diversified land policies in Nigeria and ensuring easy accessibility of all Nigerians to land. The decree however classified land to rural and urban and made separate provisions for the management and administration of each. It is a known fact that good rural land tenure is one of the catalysts for rural development and it also stimulates food self-sufficiency and serves as an impetus for economic development of a nation. Ogun State is one of the 36 States of Nigeria, a State with abundant rural land. Having a total land area of 16,409.26km2, out of which only 1,003.7km2 (spread through 7 townships) was designated as urban land, indicating that the rest 15,405.56km2 is rural land. Considering the case of Ogun State, has the decree had the expected impact on the rural land and has the provisions of the decree been kept to 26 years after its commencement? What is the attitude of estate surveyors to rural land and what remedial measures can be taken to redress the imperfections of the decree on rural land? These burning questions therefore called for this study.en_US
