Are you about to buy a piece of land in Abuja? If you are, you have to be extra careful because you may be swindled of your hard earned money in the process.

You may proceed to inspect the land  and of course you will see the and but at AGEIS when you go to normalize the papers is when you discover that the Land you bought is 10 times less than  what you were made to believe you were buying.
