A Case for The Scaling-Up of Digital Technology Application to Land Administration in South-East, Nigeria
Abstract
This study is an attempt at assessing the degree to which digital technology application to land administration in South East Nigeria comply with current global best practices seen as present global standards in land administration. The study anchored on the critical relevance of land administration to sustainable development, the place of digital technology in defining current global best practices in land administration and the reality that local and national practices that significantly fall short of global standards are no longer acceptable in today’s world that has turned into a global village. Critical areas of digital technology application to land administration on current global best practices were identified and used to assess the degree to which the five states of south east Nigeria complied. Survey method was adopted in the study, basically using the instrument of questionnaire. Purposive sampling technique was used with sample size of 150 respondents involved, who were land administration service providers comprising land officers, land surveyors, town planners and other support staff of the government ministries in charge of land administration in the states. Findings from the study revealed that the degree of digital technology application to land administration in the states of South-East Nigeria is significantly low and that the extent of the challenges that emanate from such low application is significantly high. The study concludes and recommends that there is an urgent need for the states to migrate swiftly to Digital Land Administration System (DLAS) by adopting a holistic digital technology application to land administration in order to be on the level of current global best practices that can drastically address land administration challenges in the states.
