WHAT IS A LAND GAZETTE?
In the context of land ownership, particularly in places like Nigeria, a “Land Gazette” refers to an official government publication that contains records of land that have been officially designated or “Excised” by the government.
HERE’S A BREAKDOWN:-
• OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT RECORD:-
•A gazette is essentially a public record where the government publishes legal notices and information, including details about land ownership and land use.
• LAND EXCISION:-
“Excision” refers to the process where the government releases a portion of land from its control, granting certain rights to individuals or communities.
•The gazette serves as official documentation of this excision.
KEY INFORMATION
A Land Gazette typically includes details such as:-
1: The location and boundaries of the excised land.
2: The size of the land.
3: The communities or individuals granted rights to the land.
4: Any other relevant legal information.
IMPORTANCE:-
•It provides legal proof of land ownership and helps prevent disputes.
•It’s crucial for verifying the legitimacy of land transactions.
In essence, a Land Gazette is a vital legal document that establishes and protects land rights.
