OwnershipLand titles in KankeIn Kanke LGA, as everywhere in Plateau, the Land Use Act applies: you own a right of occupancy, not freehold.

Foreign individuals and companies usually hold through a company incorporated in Nigeria.

SellingSelling a plot in KankeThe usual buyers for land in Kanke LGA are agro-investors, farmers and businesses needing large sites. We put Governor’s Consent and the survey in order first, then price against land sales in Kabwir Pada, Amper Seri and Ampang-East.
LeasingLeasing land in KankeIn Kanke LGA, demand for leased land comes from farmers and agro-processors. Leases are drafted with your lawyer, tenants are vetted and ground rent is collected on schedule.
