Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard plot size in Nigeria?
The standard Nigerian residential plot is 60 feet × 120 feet (approximately 18.3m × 36.6m), giving an area of 7,200 sq ft or approximately 648–669 sq m. However, plot sizes vary by state and layout. In Lagos, plots can be as small as 30×60 ft in some layouts. Always confirm the exact dimensions on the survey plan.
How many plots make an acre?
One acre equals approximately 4,047 sq m or 43,560 sq ft. Using the standard 60×120 ft plot (648 sq m), one acre contains roughly 6.25 plots. In practice, Nigerians often say "6 plots per acre" accounting for road setbacks.
What is a hectare in Nigerian plots?
One hectare = 10,000 sq m. Using the standard plot of 648 sq m, one hectare is approximately 15.4 plots. Many real estate developers sell land in hectares in the outskirts of cities like Ibeju-Lekki and Epe.
What is the difference between a plot and a lot?
In Nigeria, these terms are often used interchangeably for residential land. However, "lot" is more commonly used in formal government surveys and layouts, while "plot" is the everyday term. Both refer to a defined parcel of land for building.
How do I convert my land measurement from feet to meters?
1 foot = 0.3048 meters. So 60 ft = 18.29 m and 120 ft = 36.58 m. This calculator handles the conversion automatically — just enter your dimensions in either unit and it will show all conversions.
