Background of the Study
Land registration is a critical aspect of the real estate market, as it provides legal assurance of ownership and helps to prevent disputes over land titles. In many developing countries, including Nigeria, land registration systems have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and lack of transparency, which hinder the development of the real estate sector (Kumar, 2023). In Kano State, a major commercial hub in Nigeria, the real estate market has faced challenges related to land ownership disputes, unclear titles, and fraudulent transactions. These challenges have reduced investor confidence, slowed down property transactions, and created a lack of clarity in property rights.

In recent years, the Nigerian government has introduced reforms aimed at improving land registration systems, with the hope of increasing transparency, reducing corruption, and streamlining property transactions (Olufemi & Bamidele, 2024). These reforms include digitizing land records, improving the efficiency of land title registration processes, and creating clearer legal frameworks. The success of these reforms is critical to improving transparency in the real estate market and encouraging both local and international investments. However, the impact of these reforms on real estate market transparency in Kano State has not been comprehensively studied, and there remains a gap in understanding how these reforms are being implemented and received by various stakeholders.

Statement of the Problem
Despite the introduction of land registration reforms in Kano State, there are still concerns regarding the effectiveness of these reforms in improving market transparency. Many landowners and real estate investors continue to face challenges in verifying property titles, navigating bureaucratic processes, and dealing with fraudulent practices. The reforms, while promising, have not yet fully addressed these issues, leading to continued mistrust among market participants. The lack of empirical evidence on how these reforms have influenced market transparency in Kano State makes it difficult for policymakers to gauge the success of the reforms and identify areas that require improvement.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To assess the impact of land registration reforms on the transparency of the real estate market in Kano State.
  2. To examine the challenges faced by stakeholders in the implementation of land registration reforms in Kano State.
  3. To propose recommendations for improving land registration processes and enhancing market transparency in Kano State.

Research Questions

  1. What impact have land registration reforms had on the transparency of the real estate market in Kano State?
  2. What challenges have stakeholders faced in the implementation of land registration reforms in Kano State?
  3. What strategies can be implemented to improve the effectiveness of land registration reforms in enhancing market transparency in Kano State?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Land registration reforms have significantly improved the transparency of the real estate market in Kano State.
  2. There is a significant relationship between the digitization of land records and the reduction of fraudulent land transactions in Kano State.
  3. Stakeholders who are more informed about land registration reforms are more likely to participate in the real estate market in Kano State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on the impact of land registration reforms on the real estate market transparency in Kano State, Nigeria. It will assess the perspectives of various stakeholders, including real estate investors, landowners, and regulatory bodies. The study will not extend to other states in Nigeria or explore land registration reforms outside of Kano State. A limitation of the study is the potential lack of accurate or complete data on the implementation and outcomes of land registration reforms, as well as the reluctance of stakeholders to share experiences regarding challenges they face.
