The hand book also hope to achieve the easy means of disseminating information of processing title document out and ensure everybody have access to it to guide and direct us towards an appropriate channels. The importance of this material is to ameliorate to a barest minimum the challenges of various kinds of land transaction our people are faced with, transcending on a high side with larger proportion of litigation of different land disputes in our court of jurisdiction.

The desirable steps that you are about to take in getting those documents are worthy of note. For instance, many of our people do not really understand how land came to being in Nigeria. it is indeed very important, first, to understand the administrative functions of land use and its legitimacy, the responsibility of states in the federation and Nigeria federal government where-with, allocation, relocation and distribution of transaction and managements of land administration is saddled with.

Also, it give more insights on demand and supply of land from history in the state of Lagos where it opened discussion on the pattern of land transaction in the past and what obtains at present with the importance of having value document in other to protect the right of ownership of landed property.

 It digested the advent of Europeans before independence, the status of family land and the origin and destination of land use act of 1978 .The second chapter of the hand -book on which? Way to acquire, process your title document on any landed property is also binding on desirable steps of documents ranging from certificate of occupancy, regularization, consent and schemed lands.

The third chapter coined zoning policy as one factor that our people must give consideration to before embarking on development of any landed property, it elaborate on various classifications of land use as a strong clause that must be aligned in the interest of every individuals that is planning to erect any type of development within the state of Lagos, providing succour to various types of committed land by the government of the day and disseminate information on Lagos state government policy on land with excesition, incorporated its classification and the reason for such purpose and why such land is vested on the indigenous people of the state. The information about how people fall victim of land with acquisition status are embedded, where it sounded the alarm specifically for those who are usually ignorant of even reading little piece of information that would have help them through in their interest of getting the value and security of their landed property and also, not allowing them fall victim of any kind.

 On the hope full side, the final chapter gave underlined reasons for home ownership status, the importance of making ‘will’ through solicitors especially for reason of future. The desirable steps on how to handle indigenous owners, when, how and where. Indeed, understanding the concession given and the reasons for such, and what it is meant for primarily as an indication which will help those with the hand book to actually understand how to manage their steps with minimal expense and discourage our people of falling victims of those with much interest to sell just any land.

This leads the author to the interesting conclusion that not only does information of this kind drives ignorance but help in no small measures, not to fall victim of those swindlers out there who are bent on extorting money by trick from our people out there.

Any reason the Author did conceptualize this idea in form of material for public

consumer guide?

In my usual reporting as a journalist, it was discovered that many pending court cases that is in our judiciary today has the highest cases of land litigations of various kinds that are still pending for so many years in our various courts of competence jurisdictions as a result of Mis-information, through intermediaries and swindlers of land speculators.

Also, encouraging the people to get value for their home ownership and curb the unforeseen circumstances by the reason of relocation, allocation and compensation which are of key reasons this hand -book was conceptualized to encourage our people to have security of value for their landed property. And finally, the Author welcomes every constructive criticism that would build more on the fundamentals’ of the handbook in subsequent publication.
