I know many people or few buyers might have heard the word gazette or excision without knowing the meaning well this is to enlighten you.
A gazette or excision is a document giving the local indigenes of a community, the write to own their ancestral land which have been previously taken or revoked by the government. Now, let me take Lekki for example. The Lagos state government through the land use act acquired all the land in Lekki peninsula. This means that all right to own a land by the indigenes of a community was revoked. Because of this law, the indigenes of Lekki peninsula lost the right of ownership to their ancestral land and started agitating to the government to give them back their land so that they and their children can have a place to live. The Lagos state government seeing the fact that this people needed land for expansion, decided to issues out the gazette (excision) of some portion of land back to the indigenous communities
