Abstract: Tenure security and efficient dispute resolution mechanism are critical components of land reform initiatives in Nigeria. Yet, there is little understanding of these components, especially their drivers. This study uses ordered and multinomial logit models to examine perceived tenure security and dispute resolution pathway preferences among landholders, respectively. The results indicate variations in the level of perceived tenure security across the various indicators, and different option mix for dispute resolution preferences. Household socio-demographic and plot variables have a significant influence on both perceived tenure security and landholder preferences for dispute resolution pathway.
