Today was truly impactful at the Africa Agri–Real Estate Development Summit, expertly organized by AssetRise.

It was a powerful gathering focused on doing agri-real estate the right way—from structure, sustainability, and scalability, to real wealth creation. We learned directly from industry experts across different sectors who shared practical insights on agro-investments, land use, and long-term value creation.

Beyond the learning, one of the highlights for me was the connections. Reconnecting with brilliant minds across industries—and even more special, meeting a former colleague who is now the MD of Pac Registrar—a reminder that growth, consistency, and excellence truly compound over time.

I was also deeply honored to be recognized for Sales Excellence during the Thanksgiving session. Awards like this reinforce the work we do—creating value, building trust, and delivering results for investors, especially in agricultural real estate.

What excites me most about this space is that it goes beyond buying land.
We own the land, plant palm trees, manage the farms, and generate sustainable returns. With growing institutional partnerships and increasing conversations around palm oil as the “next crude oil,” the opportunity is no longer coming—it is here.

I encourage industry experts, professionals, and forward-thinking investors to pay attention, plug in, and take advantage of this evolving asset class to grow and preserve wealth the smart way.

The future of real estate is not just concrete.
It’s green, productive, and profitable.

The Step-by-Step Blueprint for Title Perfection in 2026
You’ve signed your Deed of Assignment, and you have your Registered Survey. In most states, you’d think you are done. But in Lagos 2026, you are only at the halfway mark. "Perfection" is the legal process of telling the Lagos State Government, "I have bought this land, here are the taxes, now recognize me as the owner."
Without perfection, your land is like an unregistered car—you can drive it, but you don't really own it in the eyes of the law. Here is the exact 2026 workflow to get your Governor’s Consent.
1. Step 1: The Application (Land Form 1C)
Your lawyer or consultant will start by filling out Land Form 1C. This is the formal application for Governor's Consent.
• The 2026 Digital Shift: This is now primarily done via the Lagos e-GIS portal. You’ll need to upload your digital survey, your signed Deed of Assignment, and your "Payer ID" (your Lagos State tax identity).
2. Step 2: The "Charting" Phase
Once submitted, the Lands Bureau sends your survey to the Surveyor General’s office to "chart" it.
• The Goal: To ensure the land you bought isn't actually a government-reserved road or a school site.
• The 2026 Timeline: Thanks to the e-GIS, this takes about 3–5 working days. If it "clears," you move to the most expensive part.
3. Step 3: Assessment & The "Big Three" Payments
The Government doesn't care what you actually paid for the land. They use their own Fair Market Value (FMV) chart to assess your fees. In 2026, for the Ibeju-Lekki/Epe corridor, budget for approximately 3% of the government-assessed value in statutory fees:
• Consent Fee: 1.5%
• Capital Gains Tax (CGT): 0.5%
• Stamp Duty: 0.5%
• Registration Fee: 0.5%
• Note: You will also be assessed for Neighborhood Improvement Charges (N.I.C) and your personal income tax clearance.
4. Step 4: Stamping & Execution
After payment, your Deed of Assignment is sent to the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) to be stamped. This is where your document gets the "Seal of Authority."
• The Final Signature: Once stamped, the document goes to the desk of the Commissioner for Lands (acting on behalf of the Governor) to receive the official Governor’s Consent stamp.
5. Step 5: Registration & The Instrument Number
The final step is the entry into the Lagos Land Registry. Your property is assigned a unique Instrument Number (e.g., Page 40, Volume 2026A).
• The Prize: You receive your original Deed of Assignment back, now adorned with government stamps and a registration number. Your title is officially "Perfected."
Why Does This Matter in 2026?
• Collateral Power: You cannot take a bank loan with just a "receipt." You need a perfected title.
• Value Appreciation: A plot in Epe with a Governor’s Consent sells for 30–40% more than a plot with just a "Survey" because the buyer is paying for the peace of mind that the legal work is already done.
• Security: In the rare event of a government acquisition for a new road, only those with perfected titles are legally entitled to compensation.
The 2026 Verdict
The process of perfection in Lagos has improved, but it still requires patience and a budget of roughly 10–15% of your purchase price (covering government fees, legal work, and taxes).
Are you sitting on a "Deed" that’s just a contract, or have you turned it into a "Title" that the world recognizes?

The Art of "Charting" – Your Digital Shield in the New Lagos
In 2024, "charting" a piece of land meant sending a surveyor to Alausa with a physical copy of your plan and waiting weeks for a result. As we stand in January 2026, the game has changed. The Lagos e-GIS (Electronic Geographic Information System) is now the "judge and jury" of land status in the state.
If you are buying land in the Ibeju-Lekki or Epe corridor without a digital charting report, you aren't investing—you are gambling with your eyes closed.
1. What is "Charting" in the 2026 Era?
Charting is the process of superimposing your property’s GPS coordinates onto the official Lagos State Digital Map.
• The Goal: To see exactly what the government has planned for that specific coordinate.
• The Reality: The ground may look like "empty bush," but the digital map might show a proposed 8-lane regional road, a power substation, or a school site.
2. The 2026 "Traffic Light" System
When you run a search on the Lagos Land Online portal, your result will typically fall into one of three categories:
• 🟢 Green (Freehold): The land is free from any known government acquisition. You can proceed to buy and process your C of O or Governor’s Consent immediately.
• 🟡 Yellow (Uncommitted / Global Acquisition): The government has "marked" this area but has no immediate project planned. You can buy here, but you must pay the government a Ratification/Regularization fee later to get your title. (Basically, you pay twice).
• 🔴 Red (Committed Acquisition): This land is reserved for a specific public project (e.g., the Coastal Highway or the Airport buffer). Do not buy. It can be bulldozed at any time without compensation to you.
3. The 2026 e-GIS Process: Step-by-Step
The launch of the e-GIS has removed the "middleman" headache. Here is how we verify land today:
1. Get the Coordinates: Ask your surveyor for the 4 or 6-point coordinates (Beacons) from the survey plan.
2. Log In: Visit the Lagos State Land Registry portal.
3. Initiate Search: Select "Land Information/Charting Search."
4. Pay the Fee: In 2026, the official search fee ranges from ₦25,000 to ₦50,000 depending on the complexity.
5. Download Report: Within 3–5 business days, you receive a PDF "Information Certificate" showing the status of the land.
4. Why "Charting" is Non-Negotiable in 2026
With the 2026 Full Digitalization of the Lands Bureau, the government no longer accepts "I didn't know" as an excuse.
• Fraud Prevention: The e-GIS catches "shifted" surveys—where a seller tries to show you a "free" plot but gives you coordinates for a "committed" one.
• Transparency: You can verify the registered owner and see if there are any existing mortgages or liens on the property before you drop a single Kobo.
The 2026 Verdict
Infrastructure (like the Airport and the Coastal Highway) has made land status more volatile. A plot that was "Free" three years ago might now be "Committed" because of a new road alignment.
Charting is the only way to "see" the future of your land. In 2026, the map is more important than the ground.
Are you buying based on the "view" of the trees, or the "truth" of the e-GIS map?

Weekend Recharge—Reflect, Reset, and Plan Your Next Investment Move
This post, coming on a weekend, shifts the focus from execution to strategic planning and mindset, crucial for the Legacy Builder who needs perspective to make high-stakes decisions.
1. Reflect: The Anatomy of a Successful Year 📊
Before initiating your next move, take this time to audit the performance of your existing portfolio. The goal is to identify patterns of success and failure.
• Review Your Capital Allocation: Look back at your decisions from the past year. Did the capital you deployed into Raw Land Banking (Day 8) appreciate faster than the capital you locked into Fixed Income (Day 11)?
• Audit Your Liquidity: Assess your exposure to high-yield, illiquid assets (like development land) versus income-generating, liquid assets (like corporate rentals). Are you prepared for an unexpected opportunity or a market correction (Day 22)?
• The Stress Test: Imagine the market shifted dramatically. Which of your assets would you need to sell first? If the answer is your best-performing one, your portfolio structure is flawed.
2. Reset: Shifting the Investor Mindset 🧠
The next market cycle requires a fresh perspective, free from the emotional baggage of the last one.
• Move Past the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Ignore sensational market reports. Rely solely on verifiable data (infrastructure plans, demand reports, legal documentation) rather than hype. A disciplined investor never chases a fleeting trend.
• Embrace Strategic Debt: Review your attitude toward leverage (Day 6). If your potential business venture can yield 25% ROI, but you can secure a mortgage at 18%, you are leaving money on the table by paying cash. Debt is a tool to be maximized, not a liability to be feared.
• Re-Engage Your Team: Your lawyer, surveyor, and financial advisor are your most valuable assets. Use this time to schedule a debriefing, confirming all your titles are perfected and your corporate structures (Trusts/SPVs, Day 27) are compliant for the year ahead.
3. Plan: Defining the Next Investment Thesis 🎯
Your weekend reflection should culminate in a single, clear investment thesis for the next 12-18 months.
• The Exit Thesis (The Opposite of the Buy Thesis): Look at your existing assets. When will the infrastructure completion signal (Day 24) arrive for that land you bought? Prepare the marketing and legal paperwork now, so you are ready to sell into the peak of excitement, not the maturity phase.
• The Acquisition Thesis: Where is the next economic anchor being planned (Day 13)? Is it time to shift capital into Logistics Real Estate (Day 25) or high-yield Joint Ventures (Day 26)? Define the market sector and the geographic corridor for your next large capital deployment.
• Mandate Clarity: Do not wait for Monday. Use this time to write the three non-negotiable legal requirements (e.g., "Must have ratified Governor's Consent, no exceptions") that will guide your agent in the coming weeks.
The Bottom Line: The difference between an amateur and a Legacy Builder is that the amateur reacts on Monday, while the professional plans on Sunday. Secure your perspective today to secure your future tomorrow.

The Real Meaning of Legacy—Building for Generations Unborn
For the Legacy Builder, real estate is the most powerful tool for ensuring the wealth you create today serves your family generations from now. True legacy is not just the size of your bank account; it’s the structure and security you place around your assets to make them untouchable and transferable across time.
1. Legacy is Structure, Not Just Ownership 📜
Owning a property in your personal name subjects it to probate, family disputes, and immediate tax liabilities upon your passing. The Sophisticated Investor uses specialized vehicles to protect these assets.
• The Power of the Trust/Holding Company: The primary move is transferring ownership of the real estate assets from your personal name into a legally distinct structure, such as a Family Trust or a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Holding Company.
• The Benefit: This structure ensures that the assets are controlled by the entity, not the individual. Should anything happen to the owner, the company/trust continues to own the property. This bypasses lengthy probate, ensures immediate continuity, and protects the assets from being frozen.
2. The Legacy of Passive Income 🏦
The goal is to ensure the asset generates income without the next generation needing to actively manage or sell the property immediately.
• Cash Flow vs. Value: Ensure the property portfolio is diversified between Capital Appreciation (raw land) and Consistent Cash Flow (high-spec, long-term corporate rentals). The cash flow assets provide the necessary liquidity to maintain the entire portfolio (pay taxes, service charges, maintenance) for the family.
• The Mandate: You are building self-sustaining assets. The properties must be structured to produce sufficient Net Operating Income (NOI) to be a benefit, not a burden, to your heirs.
3. Creating Future Options, Not Obligations 🔑
A legacy portfolio gives your children and grandchildren the choice to sell, develop, or hold the property, based on their needs, not yours.
• Clean Title is Paramount: Every asset transferred must have a clean, perfected title (C of O/Governor's Consent fully registered—referencing Day 16). Assets with ambiguous or "in-view" titles create instant legal problems and diminish the value of the inheritance.
• The Transfer of Wisdom: True legacy involves creating a detailed Asset Register that lists the title documents, insurance policies, management contracts, and the reason why each property was acquired. This financial wisdom is as valuable as the property itself.
The Bottom Line: Real estate provides the only tangible, inflation-proof vehicle for transferring wealth across generations. By focusing on legal structure, predictable cash flow, and clean title, you ensure your hard-earned success continues to empower those generations unborn.
