The Federal Government has revealed that over 90 per cent of land in Nigeria remains undocumented, with the nation losing an estimated $300bn in economic value due to poor land registration systems over the past 140 years.
Speaking at the Workshop on the National Land Registration and Documentation Programme in Abuja, the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Dangiwa, lamented the slow progress of land documentation in Nigeria since the formal introduction of land registration in 1883.
