Abstract

Like other countries in Africa, Nigeria and Zambia realized the necessity to engage on the reform of the land resources. During the pre-colonial epoch, land in the traditional rural areas of Nigeria and Zambia were seen and regarded as common properties. However, land resource has become socio-political and economic issues in Post-colonial Africa, especially in Nigeria and Zambia. The quest for the expansion of the prevalent land markets and the pressures of modernization in these countries explained the conversion of customary lands into leasehold lands. The chapter takes holistic evaluation of the land tenure system in Nigeria and Zambia and canvass for the implementation of effective land reform programmes contingent upon a full grasp of the prevailing land arrangement by policy makes.
