Land

What owning land in Yabo involves.

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

OwnershipLand titles in YaboUnder the Land Use Act, land in Sokoto is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Yabo LGA hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold. Land at the edge of Yabo is often still held by families, which makes family consent and a customary right of occupancy essential. International buyers normally hold through a Nigerian-incorporated company.

BuyingBuying land in YaboMost land around Yabo LGA is family land sold plot by plot. Confirm who can sell, find every beacon on site and agree access before paying. The nearest international airport, Kano airport, is about 392 km away; we inspect on your behalf and show you on video.

SellingSelling a plot in YaboPlots in Yabo LGA mostly sell to land bankers, small developers and families planning to build. We put Governor’s Consent and the survey in order first, then price against land sales in Yabo 'B', Torankawa and Kilgori.

LeasingLeasing land in YaboIn Yabo 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.
