OwnershipOwning land in LafiaUnder the Land Use Act, land in Nasarawa is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Lafia LGA hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold.

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport is about 155 km away, so most clients walk the plot with us on video while we inspect in person.

SellingSelling land in LafiaPlots in Lafia LGA mostly sell to land bankers, small developers and families planning to build. A perfected title sells faster, so we secure Governor’s Consent and the survey before listing, and price against recent land sales in Akurba, Bakin Rijiya and Wakwa.
