The desirable steps on how to handle indigenous owners, when, how and where. Indeed, understanding the concession given and the reasons for such, and what it is meant for primarily as an indication which will help those with the hand book to actually understand how to manage their steps with minimal expense and discourage our people of falling victims of those with much interest to sell just any land. This leads the author to the interesting conclusion that not only does information of this kind drives ignorance but help in no small measures, not to fall victim of those swindlers out there who are bent on extorting money by trick from our people out there.
In my usual reporting as a journalist, it was discovered that many pending court cases that is in our judiciary today has the highest cases of land litigation of various kinds that are still pending for so many years in our various courts of competence jurisdictions as a result of Mis-information, through intermediaries and swindlers of land speculators. Also, encouraging the people to get value for their home ownership and curb the unforeseen circumstances by the reason of relocation, allocation and compensation which are of key reasons this hand -book was conceptualized to encourage our people to have security of value for their landed property. And finally, the Author welcomes every constructive criticism that would build more on the fundamentals of the handbook in subsequent publication.
