Section 67 of the Land Registration Law (LRL) of Lagos State 2015 provides as follows:

(1) A holder entitled to the benefit of a restrictive covenant (not being a covenant made between a sub-lessor and sub-lessee) may apply to the Registrar to enter notice of the benefit in the register; and the Registrar shall enter the notice accordingly by reference to the document containing the covenant and shall file the document in the Land Registry.

(2) Unless it is noted in the register against the title to the land intended to be burdened, a restrictive covenant shall not be binding on the holder of such land or any subsequent person acquiring the land.

(3) The fact that a restrictive covenant is noted in the register shall not operate to validate any defect in such covenant; and accordingly, any of such restrictive covenant if defective, shall have no effect.
