Abuja the federal capital of our nation Nigeria is indeed experiencing rapid expansion in all facets. The real estate sector is booming and much opportunities are still available for both investors and people that wants to acquire land for their own needs. It is advisable to get your own land in Abuja than paying rents annually because the cost of renting an apartment for a year can get you a plot of land in a nice location. Abuja being a city that is still under development has lots of land spaces almost at the cost of nothing when compared with price of same land dimension in cities like Lagos,portharcourt, or Ibadan. But venturing into real estate can be tricky, you need to confirm the authenticity of the land for sale before buying and also make sure you get the C of O before buying or immediately after buying, in that way, you will be free from any ugly incident.

Great points. Please give more details on lands, processing of C of O, and investment in real estates generally in Abuja.

They are processes that a land have to pass through to obtain C of O. For instance, that you bought a land with offer title. First you need to do change of name and opening of file for the land, then u do what is called TDP or Site plan and pay for the C of O bill which will all take about 8weeks to be ready. I hope i have enlightened you on what you ask for.

^^^ If I buy a land with a C of O, would I need to process a new C of O or change of name with the C of O?

^^^^^ You dont need a change of name if is C of O but what you need is a Power of Attorney from the seller,the C of O will always bear the sellers name because only one C of O is issued to a land.
