OwnershipOwning land in Ukwa EastUnder the Land Use Act, land in Abia is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Ukwa East LGA hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold.

SellingSelling land in Ukwa EastThe usual buyers for land in Ukwa East LGA are land bankers, small developers and families planning to build.
