It concludes that the pattern of tenure system practised in Amawbia community was one carefully drawn or instituted to benefit all members of the community including women who also have access to land. Also that various land tenure practices identified such as public land tenure, communal land tenure and individual land tenure which were discussed generally, has been in existence even before their coinage and enactment of various tenure laws | en_US |
