3. Real Estate Hotspots & Investment Trends 2026
Kogi’s 2026 market is being reshaped by the state’s Digital Land Reform and the expansion of the Lokoja-Ganaja corridor.
The Ganaja-Lokoja Expansion (260101)
As Lokoja becomes more congested, the Ganaja Village axis is seeing the highest residential growth. In 2026, this area is the primary focus for the state's urban renewal, with new road dualization projects increasing the value of plots by an estimated 15% annually.
Anyigba Rental Market (272101)
Driven by Kogi State University (now Prince Abubakar Audu University), Anyigba remains a high-liquidity rental market. In 2026, investors are shifting from basic student hostels to "Executive Studio Apartments" to cater to the growing number of post-graduate students and university staff.
The KOGIS Digital Overhaul
The 2026 upgrade of the Kogi Geographic Information System (KOGIS) is designed to eliminate "overlapping allocations." Investors are advised that all land transactions now require a Digital Coordinate Filing which must include the specific 6-digit postal code of the district to be recognized by the Bureau of Lands.
