International investors

Investing in Nigerian land from another country.

International individuals, companies and funds face a few extra steps. We plan for them from the first conversation, alongside your legal and tax advisers.

The right holding structureForeign investors usually hold Nigerian land through a company incorporated in Nigeria. We plan the structure with your lawyers before any land is committed.
Capital in, returns outFunds brought in through a Nigerian bank are documented with a Certificate of Capital Importation, which supports taking capital and returns out through official channels.
Consent and registrationEvery land acquisition needs the consent of the state governor. We take it through consent and registration in your company’s name.
Free zones and industrial landFor manufacturing, logistics and export businesses, sites inside designated free zones are assessed alongside conventional industrial land.

Ibile Engineering is not a law firm. Legal and tax structuring is done by your advisers, or by Nigerian counsel we can introduce.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with people who live outside Nigeria?

Yes. Most of our clients are Nigerians abroad and international investors. Site walks are by video and documents can be signed outside Nigeria.

Can foreign nationals or companies own land in Nigeria?

Yes, usually through a company incorporated in Nigeria, with the state governor’s consent for each acquisition. We plan the structure with your lawyers.

How do you protect my money when I buy land?

Payment goes to the seller only when the signed deed is in your name. The arrangement is set out in writing before you pay.

Do you sell houses and apartments?

Homes for sale and rent are on Flipper. Ibile Engineering focuses on land: buying, selling, leasing, valuing, verifying and protecting it.

Are you a law firm?

No. Legal and tax structuring is done by your advisers, or by Nigerian counsel we can introduce. We work alongside them.
