Abstract

Land title registration facilitates secured land ownership right while also aiding property transactions in transparent atmosphere. A stable and efficient land registration system is a cornerstone for creation of free movement of interests in land. The provision of ready access to up-to-date land information relating to registered land encourages credible dealings in property and exchange of rights. The aim of this empirical study is therefore to evaluate the end-user‟s satisfaction on land title registration process in Akure, Nigeria. Using random sampling technique, data were collected from one hundred and eleven (111) land-allied professionals as consumers of land registry services through structured questionnaires. Data analysis was done using frequency distribution, percentage and weighted mean score. The result of the analysis revealed that the performance of the land registry is below average and it is recommended that more proactive approaches be put to land title registration.
