Inaugurating the committee, in Benin, Governor Lucky Nosakhare Igbinedion, noted that the present state of land use management in the state was far from satisfactory, saying that indiscriminate encroachment of government land resulting from unauthorised subdivision of plots designated as residential, playground has been the order of the day and called for a reverse. He said due to flagrant disobedience of town-planning laws, buildings have been erected across drainage’s including the most, which necessitated government to set up the state planning enforcement committee to check the ugly trend. The governor charged the committee to ensure a more rational allocation of lands among competing uses, namely residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural and institution, which, he said, must be in conformity with the approved master plan of the state. Other terms of reference include advising government on any matter connected with the management of land in the designated urban areas, as well as any matter connected with the settlement of persons affected by revocation of rights of occupancy on the ground of over-riding public interest and to determine disputes as to the amount of compensation to be paid. He charged the committee to be involved in the processing of application for certificates of occupancy and the processing of revenue derived from land transactions. Dr. Igbinedion expressed the concern of government in equitable land allocation, saying that government is also considering various options for generating revenue through an effective land management policy, assuring the support of government to the committee in the realisation of this objective. Responding, the chairman of the committee, Chief Larry Ederaro, thanked the government for the appointment, assuring that members will strive towards implementing government objectives. � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved).
