Working Through Nigeria’s Unique Land Ownership Regime
Land access and title ownership in Nigeria are determined by the government. As such, real estate transactions and construction projects are intimately connected to government actors, community leaders, influential families and others.
Land use and land management are crucially important to the nation’s security and the population’s quality of life, so developers and investors should expect to explain their goals to various regulatory authorities.
