Land administration systems provide a veritable platform for coordinating the efforts aimed at maximising the overall value of a country’s land resources. Extant studies, however, provide scanty and unorganised insight into the problems and benefits of the formal and informal land administration systems co-existing in Nigeria and how they affect physical development on land. Using a cross-sectional survey, this study investigated the benefits and problems of formal and informal land administration systems in Epe, Lagos, and ascertained the relationship between the level of land development and land occupants’ type of occupancy (which may be formal or informal). A major problem of the formal land administration system is that to be allocated land; one needs to know a government official, while its key benefit is that anyone can be allocated land anywhere irrespective ...

The data collected was analyzed using frequency counts and mean values. It is revealed from the study that agricultural activities are more predominant in the study area and it is perceived as most viable by the respondents. However, like in most other industrial activities in the area, inadequate capital, use of primitive methods, and low support on industrial activities has inhibited optimum performance in the agricultural sector. Provision of credit facilities, government policies that support consumption of local goods and supply of equipment at subsidized process were adjudged the immediate need to improve on the status quo. The study concluded that ample opportunities abound in rural industrialization in Nigeria, provided that tackling the challenges are given utmost priority.
