Introduction
The results of population pressure,
urbanization and socio-economic growth have great social and economic impact on
land issues in Nigeria.1 This therefore makes people to move from rural to
urban areas and therefore, congested urban areas are in need for expansion but
land is too scarce.2 Hence, to acquire land became even impossible because of
the cost of compensation.3 These difficulties faced by both the people and
governments make it necessary for the government to do something about land
distribution in Nigeria.4 Consequently, the Rent Control Panel was appointed in
1976 and saddled with the responsibility to study the system of land
distribution and speculation. They therefore recommended among other things,
that the federal military government should take over all land in the country.5
This and many panels and committees6 necessitated the enactment of the Land Use
Act which provides the framework of national policy in Nigeria and enables the
government to control the use of which the land can be put in all parts of the
country.7

To make the above policy of
nationalizing land effective, the land use Act provides for “right of
Occupancy”8 which gives the holder a mere right of possession and not
ownership.9 Hence, two types of occupancies are provided for namely: Statutory
Right of Occupancy (SRO) and Customary Rights of Occupancy (CRO).10 However,
the Act stipulates that those rights granted to holders can only be alienated
when governor‟s consent is first had and obtained.11 And failure to secure that
consent may render any transaction or alienation null and void.12
