“You Cannot Own Land In Nigeria.” All lands in Nigeria, including your ancestral homes are vested on the 36 States Governors and the Federal Government of Nigeria. Hence, No person can own any land in Nigeria. At best, a person can be granted a Right of Occupancy and issued a Certificate of Occupancy for a specified period, often 99 years. Such a person is an Occupant and not Owner of the land and as such expected to pay Rent (Ground Rent) to the land owner(state government). My authority are sections 1, 5, 10, 15,17 and 28 of the Land Use Act, 1978. Please share this till it gets to those that need it most.
