Abstract
The population in Lagos state, Nigeria is not only rapid but alarming. This study investigates the level of GIS in use for Land registration in the state. In Lagos State, the ministry responsible for land policy and land matters is the Lands Bureau. For this study, both primary and secondary data were used. Primary data was sourced from the principal officials of professional directorates at Lands Bureau who were involved in land registration process of the State using both structured interview and questionnaire multi-modes. Findings revealed that GIS had not been fully introduced into the overall activities. It is gradually being introduced. Hence the level of use of GIS is still decentralized with each departments focusing on its GIS tasks at a time. It is recommended that the Lagos State Government should continue to put necessary infrastructure for the development of a robust land registration system for the state
