Can someone please convert 30 x 120 in m2's please? I am so confuse.
The simple method used for converting feet to meter is by multiplying feet by 0.3. e. g. 50feet x 0.3= 15m

Therefore your case (30*120) = 9*36 = 324sqm

thanks for this, I however want to add some info. When talking about plot sizes, there is no standard plot size anywhere in d world, what we have is just 'generally agreed sizes' that varies from place to place. The agreed plot sizes also depends on the density; there are 3 densities vis high density 18*36 medium density 24*36 n low density 30*36 (all in meters)
thanks

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.

Your calculations are absolutely wrong.

If your Hectare is 100m * 100m as you said.

Or 328feet * 328feet = 107,584 square feet

And a standard plot outside lagos is 100ft * 50ft = 5,000 square feet.

Then 107,584 / 5,000 is equal to 21.5164plots

Suffice to that there are 21.5 plots inside one Hectare.

Then for a lagos plot of 120ft * 60ft = 7,200 square feet.

Thats where you get 14.9plots or 15 plots in one Hectare.
