How much does land cost in Atuma-Iga, Asaba? (2026 prices)

Atuma-Iga sits in Oshimili North Local Government Area, a short drive from Asaba along the Otulu or Ubolu axis. It has become one of the more active land markets around the city, and prices there now vary widely enough to confuse a first-time buyer.

What plots cost right now

Based on publicly listed prices on Nigerian property portals as at August 2026, plots in and around Atuma-Iga and wider Oshimili North fall roughly into these bands:

• Around ₦4.5 million for 464 sqm with a Deed of Assignment and registered survey plan, where the estate-wide Certificate of Occupancy is still in progress
• Around ₦7.5 million for 450 sqm at a comparable stage of documentation
• Around ₦12.5 million for 464 sqm in an estate already holding a full Certificate of Occupancy
• ₦80 million and above for 560 sqm in a premium serviced development such as Cubana Millennium City

Expressed per square metre, that is roughly ₦9,700 at the lower end and ₦142,900 at the top. Those are not different markets. They are plots within the same general area, priced against different levels of documentation, infrastructure and brand.

Why two estates on the same road differ by millions

Three things account for most of the gap.

1. How far the title has progressed

An estate that already holds a full Certificate of Occupancy has completed a process that takes time and money, and it prices accordingly. An estate still processing its C of O sells for less. Neither is automatically better. What matters is that you are told plainly which one you are buying, in writing, before you pay.

2. What infrastructure already exists

Power, roads, drainage, perimeter walls and gate houses all cost money, and estates that have built them recover that in the plot price. Ask specifically which items are installed today and which are planned. A rendering of a gate house is not a gate house.

3. What is actually included in the quoted price

This is where buyers most often lose money without noticing. In some estates the quoted figure covers the land only, and documentation, survey and deed fees follow as separate invoices. Always ask the question directly: is this price documentation inclusive, and what exactly does that include?

What should be included before you accept any figure

• The plot itself, with its size stated in square metres, not vague terms like "a plot"
• A Deed of Assignment issued in your name on allocation
• A registered survey plan for your specific plot
• Physical beacons shown to you on the ground
• A written statement of the estate-wide title status, whatever that status is

A note on future value

You will hear a great deal about appreciation at Atuma-Iga, and it is worth being careful here. No company can honestly guarantee what land will be worth later, and any that does is telling you something useful about itself.

What you can do is look at what already exists. The Second Niger Bridge was completed in 2023. The Delta State Ministry of Works has a road contract running into the area. Several independent developers have committed capital to the same village. Those are facts you can verify, and what you conclude from them is your own judgement to make.

Before you agree a price anywhere

Ask for the price per square metre rather than the headline figure, since that is the only way to compare estates fairly. Ask what is included. Ask what the title status is, in writing. And inspect the land before any money moves.
