ABSTRACT ABSTRACT
Landed properties are mostly bequeathed from Parents to their offspring in the traditional Nigerian setting but with increase awareness and arising from the fact that Land is about the only wealth whose value appreciates overtime the need for acquisition of landed property and the desire to keep such is on the increase. In this paper, a field survey was carried out to in order to ascertain property determinants around tertiary institutions of learning in North-Central Geo-Political zone of Nigeria. Based on convenience sampling technique six tertiary institutions from three States in the zone were selected for the study. Furthermore, for uniformity, in each of the selected states, one University as well as one College of Education were sampled. This study was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative approaches in order to extract detailed information contained in the attributes listed above. Besides direct field measurement and observations, majority of the quantitative data were collected
from the questionnaires administered, reports, and data information from the stakeholders and government. Qualitative data were collected from the interviews with the professional bodies and from the questionnaires. Using Correlation study as method of analysis, the study found out that there are high locational coefficients between Kogi State University, Anyegba and Federal College of Education, Okene; between Nasarawa State University, Keffi and College of Education, Akwanga; and between Federal University of Technology, Minna and Federal College of Education, Kontagora. Based on this, recommended that in the administration of land for tertiary
institution purpose focus should be centred on the provision of environmental factors that is aimed at cushioning distance-effects.
