Abstract

The impetus for this paper was the prevailing urban heritage land conflict within Kaduna metropolis due to government arbitrary application of Power of Eminent Domain on allocated infill lands of some intuitions for the said public interest. The paper purpose was set to review the concept of Eminent Domain law in Nigerian urban built environment, understand the varied interest of stakeholders’ diverse influences in land use activities and proposed a template for appropriate legislation and application of Eminent Domain law by government and its agencies in Kaduna metropolis and the nation at large. Methodology adapted for the study was hinged on pragmatic philosophy. Deductive approach with qualitative method using case study, archival and interview survey strategies. The selected institutions cut across tertiary, secondary and primary level with key stakeholders were interviewed. Study data was based on content theoretical analysis for proposition on land use eminent domain law.  The study findings showed that government and its agencies seem to have abandoned their principal responsibility of impartial trustee and infrastructures provision in urban development. Furthermore, policy decisions are changed whimsically on the status of most urban land tenure depending on those in power at any particular time, thereby dampening land transactions, development schemes, thus leading to litigations. The study also establishes that while neighbourhoods’ interest and participatory rights remain neglected; indigenous communities often proceed with the land transaction on the presumptuous right of ownership within urban areas, thereby further compounding the conflicting interests. Ultimately, the paper proposed a template for appropriate eminent domain law legislation process and applicability within Kaduna metropolis as well as the country at large. The designed template will serve in enhancing eminent domain law theoretical development and ensure friendly on-site practical application that is based on proactive government policy.
城市遗产土地使用权的冲突:在卡杜纳-尼日利亚发展适当的土地征用法模板
本文的动机是卡杜纳大都市内普遍存在的城市遗产土地冲突,这是由于政府武断地在为上述公共利益而分配的一些直觉填充物上使用征用权。该文件的目的是审查尼日利亚城市建筑环境中征用权法的概念,了解利益相关者对土地使用活动的不同影响的不同利益,并为卡杜纳大都市和整个国家的政府及其机构适当立法和适用征用权法提出模板。本研究采用的方法论以实用主义哲学为基础。运用案例研究、档案和访谈调查策略,运用定性方法进行演绎。选定的院校跨越高等教育、中学和小学水平,并与主要利益相关者进行了访谈。研究数据基于土地使用征地法命题的内容理论分析。研究结果表明,政府及其机构似乎已经放弃了在城市发展中作为公正受托人和提供基础设施的主要责任。此外,在任何特定时间,大多数城市土地保有地位的政策决定都因当权者而改变,从而阻碍了土地交易、发展计划,从而导致诉讼。该研究还表明,虽然社区的利益和参与权仍然被忽视;土著社区往往在城市地区内以自以为是的所有权进行土地交易,从而使相互冲突的利益进一步复杂化。最后,该文件提出了适当的征用领域法立法程序和适用于卡杜纳大都市以及整个国家的模板。设计的模板将有助于加强土地征用法的理论发展,并确保基于积极的政府政策的友好的现场实际应用。
