Land

Land in Kogi, topic by topic.

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

OwnershipOwning land in KogiOwnership in Kogi State is a right of occupancy under the Land Use Act, granted or recognised by Kogi State. In built-up Kogi, 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.

BuyingBuying a plot in KogiPlots in built-up Kogi State tend to be infill sites, so check road access, drainage, setbacks and permitted use with the title. The nearest international airport, Abuja airport, is about 133 km away; we inspect on your behalf and show you on video.

SellingSelling land in KogiPlots in Kogi State mostly sell to developers, businesses needing a site and local investors. A perfected title sells faster, so we secure Governor’s Consent and the survey before listing, and price against recent land sales in Oworo, Okebukun and Kakanda.

LeasingGround leases in KogiLand in Kogi State can be leased to businesses near Lokoja needing car parks, fuel stations or temporary sites, and fuel retailers, telecoms mast sites and pop-up businesses. Leases are drafted with your lawyer, tenants are vetted and ground rent is collected on schedule.
