The image is a page from a legal document titled “JOINT ADMISSIONS AND MATRICULATION BOARD”. The page is about land ownership in Nigeria, specifically the legal process of land inheritance. The document discusses the application of the Takhannu law, a principle used to determine the inheritance rights of land owners, in the context of the Estate Distribution Section (BPS), Department of General Land and Mines (KPTG) in determining only two, out of the many rightful beneficiaries, who will take over land ownership of the deceased. At this stage, the process of meetings and discussions as well as peaceful settlement (sulh) will take place until agreement is reached in the two beneficiaries who will take over land ownership to be registered on Register of Holding (Daftar Peganggan). The document also explains that if there is no agreement reached, a trial will be postponed to another suitable date and the Takhannu principle will still be applied so that parties involved are given a second chance to consult and reach accord. The document acknowledges that too many lands are not used or cultivated and are neglected and one of the main contributors for this situation is family dispute and lack of consensus among beneficiaries resulting in the failed transfer process of land title to the deceased’s rightful heirs. The document mentions a Letter of Administration which will be issued to any beneficiary based on agreement of all beneficiaries and judgment of the Land Administrator (KPTG Circular, No.12/2009). If there is still no consensus, the Land Administrator may appoint an Administrator for the inheritance and register him in the land grant/deed, and the responsibility of the Administrator is to manage the land. The coordinates provided (10.307, 11.173) are in Gombe, Nigeria.
