administration land and use planning each treated separately. That is by aspects of planning

components of land use management .Therefore, this study was set out to address the

and Development Control in Gwagwalada .In view of the above, The research was conducted
through the information gathered from interviews of the respondents, field survey and the data
was analyzed with the use of tables, figures, plates as well as descriptive analyses. The findings
are poor land use management in Gwagwalada, that is, the allocation process lacks transparency,
inadequate planning activities resulting into poor control development, inadequate staff,
inefficient land administration resulting in land speculations and loss of revenue and also weak
development controls leading to inappropriate development. The recommendations were made in
three areas which are :The Gwagwadada master plan be review , revocation of all those areas
allocated that are not in line with land use proposal with due consultations and relocate them to
another place, The development control department should increase their awareness to
enlightening the public, increase monitoring for development control activities and also increase
