Abstract
This study investigates the Federal Capital Development Authority's (FCDA) land allocation and zoning processes in the Federal Capital City (FCC), Abuja, examining the roles of key stakeholders and the impact of these processes on urban development. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions, the research identifies key stakeholders, analyzes their roles, and assesses their perceptions of the land allocation system. The study finds that FCDA officials are recognized as the primary decision-makers (95% of respondents), with urban planners and developers also playing significant roles (80% and 85%, respectively). However, residents and community leaders, who represent local interests, have a low effectiveness rating (3.2/5), highlighting their limited influence. The study also identifies major challenges, including a lack of transparency, delayed approvals, and insufficient coordination between stakeholders. The research proposes a framework for improving stakeholder engagement and enhancing the effectiveness of zoning and land allocation processes, emphasizing inclusivity, transparency, and better coordination.
