Abstract: Developed nations exhibit greater adoption of new land registration technologies than developing countries, marking a shift from traditional methods to tech-driven solutions to address evolving land challenges and leveraging advancements for effective resolutions. This study focuses on assessing the implementation levels of an Electronic Land Titling System (ELTS) in land registration practices within Bauchi State. Objectives include evaluating ELTS components' availability and examining cognitive perceptions (perceived benefits and usefulness) among stakeholders. A quantitative approach is employed, utilising standardised questionnaires to gather data from 300 senior staff (levels 7 and above) at Bauchi State Geographic Information System (BAGIS). Simple random sampling is adopted because it ensures statistical validity. Descriptive statistics, including mean ranking, revealed that the Electronic Land Titling System (ELTS) is highly valued for automating tasks in the land registration process (M=3.69, SD=1.139) and facilitating comprehensive data overlays (ownership, zoning, topography), aiding informed decision-making in land use planning and policy development. The study concluded that adopting Electronic Land Titling Systems represents a shift towards more efficient, transparent, and responsive land administration systems. This study provides insights into the readiness and perceptions surrounding ELTS, highlighting opportunities to enhance land governance and support sustainable development goals.
