Subsection 79 (2) (g) of the National Land Code 1965 specifies that State Authorities may impose express conditions and restrictions in-interest to any alienated land.
Therefore, an approval of land dealings shall in line with the conditions and restrictions imposed in the title.
However, an owner, which requires approval for transfer and charge, may submit application simultaneously.
The applications are also processed and approved simultaneously.
Delays can occur when an owner submits an application of land transfer first followed by the application to charge.
