OwnershipOwning land in GioUnder the Land Use Act, land in Rivers is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Gio, Tai hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold.

The developer’s title and the infrastructure actually built are the key checks. Port Harcourt International Airport is about 45 km away, so most clients walk the plot with us on video while we inspect in person.

SellingSelling land in GioThe usual buyers for land in Gio, Tai are families and Nigerians abroad planning to build, and estate developers. A perfected title sells faster, so we secure Governor’s Consent and the survey before listing, and price against recent land sales in Borobara, Kira and Ekporo.

LeasingGround leases in GioIn Gio, Tai, demand for leased land comes from haulage and logistics firms needing yards near Onne port, and 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.
