@ maersk,
Thanks for the write up. for more accurate size of a standard plot;

60 x 120ft = 7200sqft
7200sqft = 668.88m2

668.88m2 is the standard size of a plot


Regards

What is your unit or means of conversion?

One hectare is not 15 plots but 22 plots. If you agree that one plot is 50x100 ft (15x30m) then the area of one plot = 450sqms. If you multiply 450 by 15 what you get is not up to 10,000sqms by your own calculation. Please stop misinforming people.

Most people who purchase lands in Lagos do not even really understand the meaning of these important real estate terms. As a potential buyer wishing to buy a land or build a new house you must be conversant with a few of these figures. The first hurdle is to understand the system of land measurements in Nigeria.

In Nigeria today, land is measured in Hectares, Acres, Meters and Feet. These measurements are affected by factors, which includes development patterns, human and environmental factors.

Let’s Start By Asking What Exactly Is The Size Of A Standard Plot Of Land In Nigeria?

According to the dictionary meaning of a plot, A plot is a marked out piece of land for the purpose of building or farming. The word "plot" is an arbitrary term used to describe a land division carved out for property development.

The size of a plot of land can vary for different reasons but according to Nigeria's land divisions, the appropriate plot for a house construction is 50 x 100ft which can accommodate a standard house with a small compound. To better understand land divisions used in Nigeria, different units of area are used as follows:

Hectares (ha)

A hectare is one of the least known metric units and one which potential buyers and estate developers seems to struggle with - it is a land measuring 100m x 100m or 328ft x 328ft or 10,000sqm. It is about two and half acres. A Hectare consists of 15 plots.

Acre

An Acre is a standard unit of measurement used by land sellers and it is almost an equivalent to the size of a standard football field. An acre is a product of any rectangular plot of land giving a total of 4,046sqm or 43,560sq ft. An Acre consists of 6 plots each measuring 60 x 120ft.

In Lagos the standard size of a plot is 60 × 120ft (18m × 36m ie 648sqm), while in some other cities of the country plots are measured in 50 × 100 ft.

About 450 square meters is what makes a standard plot.

jfkenny:

30*120

I guess he meant 30 ft x 120 ft i.e. a half plot.
Pls note that: 1m = 3.282 ft.

therefore 30 ft = 30÷3.282 = 9.141m
liekwise 120 ft = 120÷3.282 = 36.563

the total area in m2 = 9 141x36.563 = 334.22sqm

Can someone please convert 30 x 120 in m2's please? I am so confuse.

I guess yoy meant 30 ft x 120 ft i.e. a half plot.

If so, pls note that: 1m = 3.282 ft.

therefore 30 ft = 30 ÷ 3.282 = 9.141m
liekwise 120 ft = 120 ÷ 3.282 = 36.563m

the total area in m2 = 9.141 x 36.563 = 334.22sqm

True bro. A plot is not a standard measurement by any means, that's why plot sizes vary from place to place. In general, the word plot is used as a reference to m2. In Lagos, its usually 60 x 120. In Abuja, its 100 x 100.
When negotiating land transactions, limit your discussions to accurate sizes and measurements to avoid stories that touch. One man's plot is another man's garden.

I've always known a plot to be 60 x 120ft. But Port Harcourt Ikwerres decided to adjust it to 50 x 100ft to squeeze out more plots to sell. if not checked they don't mind selling 40 x 80ft as a plot of land.
