Abstract

Imo State was created in 1976 among other States of the Federation of Nigeria. Today 2021 almost forty (40) years after, the state of development of its land and land infrastructures can at best be categorized as deplorable and polarized with unregulated, uncoordinated and un-unified development thus giving room to leap-frogging and unprogressive development of land resources. This paper examined some of the key issues bordering on land governance. It reviewed actions and inactions of government hindering access to land for housing, farming and public assets in the State. Effort was made to examine the laws and statutes of the Federation as well as the edicts of the State on land. Data were collected from varied sources including government gazettes and white papers as well as citizens of the State. The paper concluded among others that the spate of land acquisition and exploitation in Imo State is gargantuan that government must check same or run the risk of losing control of development of land resources in the State.

迈向更好的imo国家土地治理

伊莫州于1976年在尼日利亚联邦的其他州中成立。在近40年后的2021年的今天，其土地和土地基础设施的发展状况最多只能被归类为令人遗憾和两极分化，发展不规范，不协调，不统一，从而为土地资源的跨越式和不进阶开发提供了空间。本文探讨了与土地治理有关的一些关键问题。它审查了政府阻碍在该国获得住房、农业和公共资产用地的行动和不作为。已作出努力审查联邦的法律和法规以及国家关于土地的法令。数据是从各种来源收集的，包括政府公报和白皮书以及国家公民。该文件的结论是，伊莫州的土地征用和开发是巨大的，政府必须加以检查，否则就有失去对该州土地资源开发控制的风险。
