Ownership, buying, selling, leasing, valuation and investment of land, as they apply in Ebonyi State.

OwnershipOwning land in EbonyiUnder the Land Use Act, land in Ebonyi is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Ebonyi State hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold. In built-up Ebonyi, older deeds sit alongside Certificates of Occupancy, and Governor’s Consent completes any sale. For foreign buyers, ownership is usually through a company registered in Nigeria.
