To accomplish this aim, questionnaires were administered using multi-stage hierarchical stratified sampling to communities’ traditional rulers/chiefs of Oke-Ogun, North of Oyo State of Nigeria. Using mean rating point, the survey ranked these factors; culture, belief and level of education as the most significant factors. The result of the chi-square test however provides statistical relationship between the sex, age, religion and years on the post and their perception on women’s right to land.
