How To Acquire Fct/Abuja Land Directly From Federal Government

There are two types of lands in FCT/Abuja which are FCDA land and Area Council land. Area Council lands were being allocated by the chairmen of each area council but the FCT minister is now the one allocating both FCDA and Area Council lands through an agency called AGIS (Abuja Geographic Information System).

AGIS is responsible for generation, management and administration of geospatial and land related matters in the FCT which include handling of data capture, processing and computerization of land related departments as well as customer services such as billing and revenue collection.

To acquire any land directly from the government one has to open a new application file in AGIS by taking the following steps

1. Obtain a new application form from AGIS or download from www.agis.fct.gov.ng
