3. Real Estate Hotspots & Investment Trends 2026
Niger State's property market is defined by its "Abuja Spillover" effect and the emergence of Minna as a smart administrative hub.
The Suleja-Abuja Corridor (910101)
As land prices in Abuja Municipal (AMAC) become prohibitive in 2026, Suleja and Gauraka have become the primary residential alternatives. We are seeing a 20% year-on-year increase in property values for gated estates along the Suleja-Minna Road, driven by federal civil servants and private sector commuters.
Minna: The Smart City Initiative (920101)
The state capital is benefiting from the NIGIS Digital Land Reform. In 2026, the Bosso-Tunga axis is the most sought-after for residential development. New layouts in Maitumbi are being marketed as "Smart Zones," featuring fiber-optic readiness and solar-powered street lighting.
The Agricultural Belt: Borgu & Kontagora
With Niger State's focus on "Powering Agriculture," large tracts of land in Borgu and Kontagora are being acquired for mechanized farming. The presence of the Kainji Dam infrastructure makes New Bussa a hotspot for specialized logistics and tourism-related real estate.
