Land

What owning land in Okene involves.

Ownership, buying, selling, leasing, valuation and investment of land, as they apply in Okene LGA.

OwnershipLand titles in OkeneUnder the Land Use Act, land in Kogi is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Okene LGA hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold. In Okene, buying in an estate usually means a share of a global title, so separate registration matters. International buyers normally hold through a Nigerian-incorporated company.

BuyingBuying land in OkeneBuyers in Okene LGA choose between estate plots and standalone plots near Obessa and Otutu. Check the developer’s title, the roads and drainage actually delivered, and whether your plot can be registered on its own. The nearest international airport, Enugu airport, is about 183 km away; we inspect on your behalf and show you on video.

SellingSelling a plot in OkeneLand in Okene LGA typically sells to families and Nigerians abroad planning to build, and estate developers. We put Governor’s Consent and the survey in order first, then price against land sales in Obessa, Otutu and Orietesu.

LeasingLeasing land in OkeneGround leases in Okene LGA suit small businesses and developers in a growing area. The title stays with you, and the lease sets the term, the rent reviews and how the land is returned.

ValuationWhat land in Okene is worthWe value land in Okene LGA from comparable land sales in Obessa, Otutu, Orietesu and Ege, adjusted for plot size, shape and frontage; the title type; road access; and distance to Lokoja (about 72 km).
