Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compulsory acquisition is the power of government to acquire private rights in land without the willing consent of its owner or occupant in order to benefit society in exchange for compensation. It evolved as a result of the invaluable nature of land and the important role it plays in the socio economic development of a country. The foregoing template is generally recognised under the Nigerian law on the subject; the Land Use Act. However, there are instances under the Act where the law deviates from this golden rule of procedure by denying land owners any compensation at all or paying what amounts to inadequate compensation for the loss occasioned by the acquisition. This paper examines the provisions of the Land Use Act on compulsory acquisition and compensation process in Nigeria vis-à-vis global standards and best practices in the area. This is with a view at highlighting the areas of injustices in the law, particularly instances of compulsory acquisitions without compensation under the Act. In carrying out this task, the paper holistically evaluates the Act as a piece of expropriatory legislation and dissects it by pointing out particular instances of compulsory acquisition processes without compensation. In conclusion, the paper recommends a review of the law to reflect equity and fairness in recognition of property rights and land administration.

Download or read book Private Property Rights and Compulsory Acquisition Process in Nigeria written by Akintunde Kabir Otubu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A property right is the exclusive authority to determine how a resource is used, whether that resource is owned by government or by individuals. In the context of land, it is the authority of the land owner to determine its use or otherwise. On the other hand, compulsory acquisition is the process by which government obtain land from private owners for development purposes in the best interest of the community. These diametrically opposed concepts of property rights and compulsory acquisition is reconciled with the payment of compensation for the extinguishment of private property rights. In Nigeria, these two concepts have a history of mutual conflicts, resulting in congruous resolutions most of the time, until the introduction of the Land Use Act 1978. With the coming of the Act, the pendulum has tilted in favour of compulsory acquisition to the detriment of private property rights; as compensation fails to assuage the loss occasioned by expropriation. The paper explored the dichotomy between private property rights and compulsory acquisition in Nigeria in the last 50years and submitted that the process under the Land Use Act changed the equilibrium that existed between these two concepts and produced a skewed and unfavorable result to the detriment of private rights and National economy. It finally proposed a new equitable arrangement to the quagmire.

Download or read book Compensation for Compulsory Acquisition of Land for Mining Activities in Nigeria written by Oludayo Amokaye and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right of government to compulsorily acquire land for public purpose including but not limited to mining purposes is universally recognised. Equally axiomatic is the right to adequately compensate the deprived landowners for the loss of their land to the public. This paper discusses the power of government to compulsorily acquire land for mining purposes under the Nigerian law and the concomitant obligation to pay compensation. This is done by examining the extant compensation laws and practice with a view to determining its fairness and adequacy. This paper finally concludes that Nigerian compensatory laws are inadequate, unfair and meager to provide sufficient incentives to landowners to compensate them for the loss of their proprietary interests in land. The compulsorily acquisition of land for mining purpose without adequate compensation is not only unjust but a serious violation of the property right guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic Nigeria and the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act.

Download or read book The Law of Compulsory Purchase and Compensation written by Michael Barnes KC and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a statement of the current law of compulsory purchase of land and compensation for that purchase. It covers all major aspects of the procedure for the compulsory acquisition of land and deals in full detail with all aspects of the law of compensation for such an acquisition. The many and diverse statutory provisions are organised into a series of chapters containing all principles and rules and there is a full analysis and explanation of the leading authorities on the subject and the principles derived from those authorities without which the subject cannot be understood. The aim of the book is, not only to explain the statutory provisions and to organise the various possible claims for compensation into different heads, but also to explain and analyse the substantial body of case law which has built up, particularly in recent years, and the relationship between that body of law and the underlying statutory provisions. The book also attempts to explain the purpose of the statutory provisions and the reason for the rules that are derived from the authorities. Chapters of the book are devoted to the procedure for formulating and pursuing a claim for compensation and to the valuation principles which must be applied in advancing claims. An Appendix is provided by Mr Nicholas Eden FRICS, a leading valuer in the field, which contains examples of different types of compensation valuation with annotations as to how the valuations are prepared and built up. A further aim of the book is to provide, where possible, practical advice to public authorities and landowners involved in the process of compulsory purchase and compensation as well as to explain the legal principles.
