ENGENDERING TRANSPARENCY IN VALUE DETERMINATION OF WETLANDS IN NIGERIA’S NIGER DELTA: A CASE FOR AN ABDUCTIVE APPROACH by Victor Akujuru, Bankole Awuzie

“…The information sought was premised on the need to understand the approaches used by valuers and to determine if any research approach was applied during the process. The emergent data was using descriptive statistics. Findings from the study indicate that the dominant method for valuation of wetlands for compensation purposes; the pre-determined compensation rates method, was predicated on the deductive approach. …”
