Abstract: A good land administration system is strategic to the development of a state. It should meet the needs of people and successfully manage land and its resources sustainably. This has however, not been the case with a lot of states in Nigeria. Kaduna State’s land administration system has gone through reforms over the years. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the land administration system in Kaduna state. The research is carried out with the use of questionnaires and complimented with personal interviews of land administration officials, industry professionals and landowners. Data is analyzed using frequency distribution and weighted mean score. In Kaduna State, all lands are registered by the Kaduna State Geographic Information Service (KADGIS). This study reveals that it can take less than six (6) months to obtain title documents. The biggest challenge of the land administration system remains a cloggy bureaucracy. It is recommended that enhancing best practice will require the enforcement of laws and policies of land administration to consolidate on the gains made in the ongoing reforms.
