The Land Use Act recognizes customary land rights and the role of traditional authorities in land administration. It aims to strike a balance between modern land laws and customary practices. Traditional landowners still have influence and involvement in land matters within their communities, especially in rural areas. However, the Act empowers the state government to control and regulate land use, which can sometimes lead to conflicts between state authorities and traditional leaders when it comes to land allocation and use.
