Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify title to land in Nigeria?

Title verification involves a search at the relevant State Land Registry, verification of the Governor's Consent where applicable, and a physical survey. We conduct comprehensive due diligence to confirm that title is good and marketable.

What is a Governor's Consent and when is it required?

Under the Land Use Act, all land in Nigeria is vested in the Governor of each state. Any transfer of a right of occupancy requires the Governor's Consent to be valid. We handle the full consent application process.
