Today, I collected the completed survey plans for 17 plots of land at this estate. The plots with complete survey plans are plots 6,27,29,30,31,32,33,37,38,39,46,48,49,50,51,52 and 54. This is in addition to the plot 43 which came out last week. I will submit another batch to the surveyor on Monday morning. Thanks.

I just like this guy integrity. We only need 1,000 people in Nigerian government who are like Spyder.

All 17 survey plans now submitted to the lawyer, another batch to be taken to the surveyor on Monday. Happy Weekend all.

Thank you my sister

I am looking at several options for estate gates, with a view to selecting the best and affordable types for this location. This is the first option, but I will rather go with the type which has an official space for security men and estate officials in between.

Option 1

I hail Sir. Isnt the choice of in between or side going to depend on the width of the road?

I am of the opinion that a 2 lane (entrance and exit) be adopted here cos nothing looks more aesthetic than a middle positioned security post having an entrance lane and exit lane on both sides.. Meaning we have 2 gates

I have another meeting with the owners of this land, we plan to agree on a few things like annual rent as is the norm in deed of lease.

I am also supposed to pay the second and final instalment of the land today. All signatories are supposed to attend this meeting and all must sign before I part with the money.

I am also supposed to pick up about 17 documents from my lawyer for distribution to buyers who have completed their payments. We are moving on.

Moving on to Ugwuanyi

I like the idea of 2 gates, 2 lanes exit and entry plan.

Moving on to Ugwuanyi
I like the idea of 2 gates, 2 lanes exit and entry plan.

Noted, my architect is already drawing up a plan for the double gate, middle room security office.

The last installment for this land was paid yesterday, those in attendance signed and about 4 persons were unavoidably absent. I spoke with them on phone and they promised to sign when they come into town. The community wants me to organize a cow and cook for the whole village as "nri ani" its the tradition in most parts of Igboland.

I will be going to pick up the next batch of 10 survey plans today.

I will also pick up the 17 deed of sub lease today as I couldn't do that till yesterday night. Negotiating with a whole community is not a simple task.

The ministry is moving.

This is the news I have been following in snippets of information, if this happens, Ugwuomu will be on fire soon, and land costs will baloon out of control.


Just recently, Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State in keeping faith with his campaign promises on investment promotion, agricultural development and social housing delivery, embarked on an investment assessment visit to the proposed East-Gate Enugu Airport City Development project being anchored by a private sector investor, NECI Land Development Corporation Limited.

The proposed project which has 142 hectares of virgin land adjacent to the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, has the potential of creating a wide range of business opportunities in the state and the entire eastern states at large. It is also an innovative business idea that involves the establishment of key investment components such as air cargo terminal, logistics hub, light industrial zone, duty free and export zone and commercial and residential real estate.

The governor’s visit was sequel to a proposal presented by the owners of the large expanse of land, which sought government’s backing and political will to enable them embark on a massive and innovative development drive in partnership with the state government under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement.

The project which is a revenue generation venture has a variety of business segments, which are of immense benefit to the state’s drive to generate revenue, critically needed to surmount the adverse effects of the economic crisis in the nation due to the nose-diving of the oil prices in the International market.

The segments according the said proposal, include: Skyview Estates, which will house mixed residential single family homes; core area, mapped out for business, entertainment and tourism; Enugu State Housing Development Corporation (ESHDC)/NECI joint venture residential real estate development project, which will cover 81 hectares of the land; aqua culture for aquatic farming (for export) and processing industries; greenhouse perishable goods (for export) and light industry; aerodrome and aeronautical facilities; and reserved areas for mixed use – residential development and airport support structures extension.

Under the agro based segments, the company is proposing a strategic partnership that would entail the direct involvement of the Enugu State Economic Planning Commission in encouraging and supervising all Local Government Areas in the state to work with its agro professionals and experts to identify agro products unique to their areas for processing and exportation through the industries that will be sited close to the International airport. Such products according to the proposal include: ose-nsukka, utazi, okro, palm wine, honey and fresh flowers.

Under the housing development, the company is proposing a strategic partnership with the Enugu State Housing Development Corporation (ESHDC) for the government to provide access roads to the area both external and internal, other infrastructure and logistic requirements to be agreed upon. And in return, the government gets 57% of the virgin land, boosts its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) by 85%, attracts development to its cluster-adjoining new development areas, creates jobs, and exposes itself and the entire eastern states to a wide-range of international business opportunities, among others.

Consequently, it will not be out of place to assert that the above proposal from NECI Land Development Corporation Limited is a quick positive response to the governor’s vision to “partner with the private sector, not only in housing development but also in agricultural development and industrialization” as he passionately stated in his inaugural address. It is also a timely answer to the clarion call by the governor’s quest that “we want people who are ready to enter into strategic partnership with us to develop Enugu State. We will provide the necessary legal and policy framework to make investment thrive.

“It is on this note that I wish to call on our people in the Diaspora and the business community to key more freely into the new phase of development in Enugu State. I enjoy their overwhelming support and goodwill for which I will remain grateful. Now, it is time for them to consummate this support by investing more at home and using their wide network of contacts to boost socio-economic development in the state.

“Although it is said among our people that ‘Ebe onye bi ka o na awachi’, it is also a fact that ‘Aku ruo uno, amara onye kpara ya’ ”.

From the above scenario, it is believed that the governor’s investment drive and his strive “to look inwards and harness those potentials which free oil money has blinded us from exploiting” have received a boost and have also presented the state an opportunity to make a mark towards advancing the development of the state.

With the recent constitutions of a 15-man Economic Advisory Committee, the Nsukka Urban Renewal Committee and other innovative initiatives being considered for revenue generation, foreign investment drive, employment generation, development etc, one is optimistic that Enugu will soon be the destination for the economic hub of the entire eastern states.

It is therefore, gladdening that the governor as a visionary and foresighted leader who had earlier declared his commitment to drive with full force in partnership with the private sector, investment promotion, agricultural sector renewal, provision of critical infrastructure, human capital development and skill acquisition, has by this visit to the proposed East-Gate Enugu Airport City to assess and evaluate the area, displayed his willingness to fulfill his campaign promises to the electorate.

Hello Spyder,

Could you throw more light on the issue of annual ground rent?

Hello Spyder,

Could you throw more light on the issue of annual ground rent?

Thank you for this question, the annual ground rent is a requirement in land lease, and we have been trying to arrive at a favourable amount all these while. The community are asking me to be paying N100,000 yearly for the land but I refused, the going rate in Enugu seems to be N500 for each plot. We agreed to hold another meeting on this with the heads of each family. The matter is still inconclusive, but I made provisions for it in the land documents I will hand over to each buyer, now waiting for what they will charge me.

How long is your lease valid for? I assumed that it was only Federal and State governments that collected ground rent. I didn't know that communities were empowered to collect ground rent.

The lease is valid for 99 years, and the ground rent is due for review after every 10 years. The state government collects ground rents for every registered land in its records, especially those with C of O. It is a statutory requirement.

However, there are lands classified as community lands, bought from communities and families who have inheritance rights over the lands. Such lands still attract ground rents to the communities which gave you the lease. I remember some of my land documents, I pay the government and also pay the community that originally sold the land.

Any lawyer in the house to throw more light on this?

The last updated copy of our estate layout collected today.

I just collected the completed survey plans for plots numbers 10,16,24,26,28,34,35,36,40 and 47. Thanks all and have a lovely weekend. I will be flexing inside Enugu this evening.

Spyder,we need you in awka.please we are eagerly waiting for you to come and develop an estate.

I was supposed to spend this afternoon driving around Awka and environs. But I have been delayed by the Secretary to my lawyer who has not been around for me to collect the finished deeds for the earlier 17 plots. I will see if I can drop in tomorrow as I will be crossing to Asaba to see a site there.

Awka estate is loading. ........

Pls as a suggestion :
Hope a complete photocopy of all the deed of main lease btw tigerken property company and the village heads , including all the signed documents will be attached as a complementary copy to each of the proposed sub-lease as done in most part of a public house scheme

Advantages:
it proffers a detailed lease history in d absence of d primary leassor
It shades a transparent history line of purchase when one chooses to resell his plot in d future
Judging from most land transactions which I must admit Oga spider is farrrrrrrr way more advanced than my self, I will pledge that we see constructive reason for d aforementioned point

We can create as many exits as we want when we start building. For now we can only afford one entrance. I have a plan to buy more plots at the back of this one.

Ok, Please I would be interested when you extend the estate.. but for me I am very safety cautious, I would like to see some safety considerations.

Ok bro, I will be looking in that direction. It just stuck me as funny that the two most beautiful and expensive estates in Enugu (zoological gardens and Liberty estates) has only one gate each.

Thanks for your contribution.

Believe me when I say that this is the third state I have been closely involved in acquisition of land from a private entity, but this is the first place am hearing of this annual rent. What could be the reason? Are there purchases that are not lease?
