How can i get land from state government for commercial farming, i have been involved in maize farming and i believe it is good and there is room for growth if properly managed.

I have secured some equipments for the next planting season but i need land and i am talking about large area of land.

How can i get land free or cheaply from any state government in Nigeria?
What are the procedures and what is required?

I am looking for up to 100 hectares of arable land with a lease of 3 years. I have asked my partner in Nigeria to make some enquiries but the people he is meeting are reluctant and they keep posting him to come later but still no land. I have plan to expand to 100 hectares of corn plantation next year. And the problem now is LAND.

I will be very glad for any information that can help with this project, you can contact me via email also

just saw your posts, how much are you offering to lease the land per acre? and what state are you looking at? sincerely i dont think the state will give you land but i do know of villages that will give you land.

@i.

Kindly send me an email and we can work this out, i am willing to lease the land but i need an offer first from anyone

You will do well if you concentrate your effort on securing lease of private land from village heads of communities you find conducive. If your interest is lagos, you may need to zero in on 3 local govts namely Badagry, Epe and Ikorodu are the only areas you can get arable land

State lands may be cheaper but govt officials will frustrate your attempt to get it except you know someone very high in ACN if the land falls within ACN controlled state.

But don't go with the mindset of getting the land free but some community may be willing to lease the land at ridiculously low fee provided you will generate employment for the villagers.
You may end up buying the land outrightly.

If you really want to do serious agric, lagos may not be your best bet because of the growing real estate
Market in Lagos. Most indigenes see land transactions as goldmine because of the value attached to land here compare to other states and when they lease to you, they are still looking for permanent buyers which may destabilise your long term planning.

Therefore, you will  get the land faster, cheaper and with long term lease. States like Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Kwara, Kogi etc should be explored and I know (God willing) someone somewhere will come to your assistance.

FYI beware of scammers who may want to take advantage of you to scam you. They will come asking you to call or send mail to them so they can lease race course-Tafawa Balewa Square and Teslim Balogun to you to do your farming! Shine your eyes o

If you take a visit to village heads in the states mentioned above, it won't be difficult to secure a very good arable land. Best of Luck!

manmade: I can get it for u in kwara @ a very low price ,let me know if u are interested.

.....I want it around lagos or ogun state

@ manmade... Thank you. But I would need it around Lagos/Ogun for next maize planting season.

[quote author=manmade] I can get it for u in kwara @ a very low price ,let me know if u are interested.which part of kwara is the land located;is it an aerable land(agric land) or forest;how much per hectare

Hmmm....Just curious....would your crop be genetically modified corn? I hope not since you would be contaminating and wiping out natural corn in the region....like in South America. Just concerned.

[quote author=Ib10001][/quote] the land is arable land located in ogbodoronko along AFON village about 40minutes drive from Ilorin, it goes for 60k per plot {50ft x 100ft} i.e about 8plots will be in an hectare and there is forest land that is even cheaper it will cost only 50K per plots the same measurement and xtra 3k[negotiable] per plot for the magaji of the area .I can also help u get in Amoyo 12 to 15 minutes drive from ilorin it will only cost more- its around 120k to 140k per plot .
