design to address land administration and management and the issue of unplanned
and unregulated physical property development settlement, it is an
establishment to develop and aesthetic spatial housing for the state government
and its people having suffered a lot in the past particularly unplanned

The key wards by Ibrahim Jibril
Usman was Nasarawa state government initiated Nasarawa development platform
project in 2012, to address land administration management it was set up to developed
a spatial data in 2014 when the issuance of title document to land owner was
not completely adhere to the department virtually rendered jobless all
cadastral activities were grounded to a standstill. This has a negative effect
on financial transaction between citizens and financial institutions in the
essence of any secured titled document to hold and to which now result to a
massive existence of development that are unplanned and unregulated urban
sprawl that could best be describe (in some area) as slum however (NAGIS, 2012)
the year between 1996 and 2011 the first 15 years of the state’s existence are
years of neglect with little or no interest in addressing the situation the
state administration from MAY 2011 recognized the following;
A total neglect of land management
and land resources of the state, also stated that land is important asset and
if properly manage could be achieved if presently proper measure to
development is address holistically, that is why the practice of the (NUDB) establishment
has these component, the registration and accepting any building plan
information services and district planning /urban renewal of the state the goal
is to have well structure land data based as to ensure the preparation and
issuance of approved building design or building plan and speculation of land
zoning restriction of all property owners and also to assist the government in
taking decision from an informed position in all aspects of its
development activities and how structure or object can fit together in
relating to space availability and proper management.
Therefore government has tried to
tackle the problems by creating rules and regulation in accordance pertaining
to any aspect development there on.
The impact of this development
control mechanism has not been identifying on any development in Nasarawa town.
Therefore there is need to examine the progress achieved so far, this work
mainly focus on the impact of development control on residential property to
see how has the these help the day-to day activities of the people and the
environment within the Nasarawa town.
1.2 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
Development control was design to
control the physical planning of any designated area or town the reverse is the
case since the creative of the state 16 years ago the result of these is that
the revenue is not properly planned, to worsen the situation the state does not
have a clear data of the property on ground in this Nasarawa town
just as there has not been any effort since the creation of the state to design
and create effective cadastral districts development plans and controls, it was
lost due to the absence of planning but there is a reform programs initiated by
the current government of Almakura in what he has introduce as recovery,
which is gradually turning thing around he was said his administration would
take advantages of the proximity of the state. however the ministry of
environment had in the last 6 month of 2011 recorded 1.3million naira in june
and 2millon in july and 2.3millon in November and December 2.6million
respectively the following year was recorded to have risen up to 5% which the
ministry seek approval for a review in building planning design charges and the
approving of ground rent in the state. The government efforts to bring reform
from were ambition revenue is being expected.
Purpose of planning and development
control is to provide effective cadastral distract planning in the state
expected to address the wide range of uncontrolled growth of slums in the state
it was aim to provide for physical planning and decision making for more
sustainable development despite this effort been made by the ministry, the
reverse was the case as Nasarawa town still has not been able to properly
control the development process within the town.

yet to be effective what is it purpose then? For these reasons above I shall
research and see what causes the problem and what can possibly be done to solve
the problem.
