      abstract = {Geographic Information System is essential in urban planning. The fuel driving the engine of growth and sustainable development of any nation is the nation?s access to reliable and sufficient geo-information. This study evaluates GIS based land information system for efficient Land Administration in Abuja. Simple descriptive statistics such as frequency analysis, percentage distribution and content analysis were adopted for the study. Questionnaires were distributed using a simple random sample technique, ensuring that a reasonable number of the population had an equal chance of being chosen for the sample. The study found out that, there are existing land tenure systems in AGIS which includes; the existing land tenure systems in this region are well-defined and easy to understand; the current land tenure systems ensure equal access to land for all; traditional land tenure systems are more effective than statutory systems in managing land disputes. Furthermore, land information system in GIS is reliable and up-to-date. The also sort that there are procedures for land registration and documentation which shows how Government agencies provide adequate support during land documentation processes. The study recommends that, there is need to enhance public awareness and simplify procedures, regular community sensitization campaigns should be organized to educate stakeholders on the clarity and benefits of land tenure systems. Furthermore, the registration procedures should be simplified to accommodate diverse literacy levels and encourage broader participation. Improving the accessibility and reliability of the Land Information System (LIS) is crucial. This can be achieved by investing in upgrading the LIS infrastructure to enhance reliability and stakeholder accessibility. Additionally, expanding training programs tailored to diverse user groups will help build capacity and increase system usage, while addressing the technical and financial barriers identified. Tackling corruption and promoting affordable processes is essential. Robust anti-corruption measures should be implemented within land management agencies, including transparent fee structures and accountability mechanisms. Moreover, subsidizing land registration fees for vulnerable groups will improve affordability and equitable access to land registration services.},
