Land Prices in Lekki, Ajah, and Ikoyi: A 2025 Guide for Investors
Land Prices in Lekki, Ajah, and Ikoyi: A 2025 Guide for Investors
by Dennis Isong
If you’re thinking of buying land in Lagos this 2025, three names will almost certainly pop up in your research—Lekki, Ajah, and Ikoyi. These locations are more than just popular; they’re strategic hotspots in the Lagos property market. Whether you’re a first-time investor or someone looking to expand their portfolio, understanding the land prices in Lekki, Ajah,
and Ikoyi is crucial for making smart decisions.
But let’s be honest, Lagos real estate isn’t what it used to be. It has changed—dramatically. The days when you could buy land in Lekki for peanuts are long gone. But even now, despite the rising prices, opportunities still exist for those who know where to look and how to act fast.
Why These Three Locations Matter
Let’s start with why Lekki, Ajah, and Ikoyi remain top contenders for land investment in 2025. Lagos is moving. Not physically, but in value, vision, and volume. Infrastructure developments, rising population, tech hubs, and a steady influx of both local and diaspora investors have transformed Lagos from just another city into a regional economic powerhouse.
Now, Lekki is no longer that quiet area with bad roads and bushy paths. It’s home to the Lekki Deep Sea Port, Dangote Refinery, and several residential estates that could pass for cityscapes in Dubai. Ajah, just a short drive away, has become the middle-class darling. And Ikoyi? Ikoyi is still Ikoyi—old money, elite appeal, and luxury everything.
What’s Really Happening to Land Prices in 2025?
Let’s take a look at the reality on ground.
In Lekki, especially in areas like Lekki Phase 1, Chevron, and the new Lekki Free Trade Zone axis, land prices have been climbing gradually but steadily. As of early 2025, prices in Lekki Phase 1 range from ₦500,000 to ₦1.2 million per square metre, depending on the specific street, title, and access to infrastructure. Lands in Chevron and Orchid Road axis are slightly less expensive but catching up fast. If you’re looking at the Ibeju-Lekki corridor, expect anything between ₦10 million and ₦25 million per plot, depending on proximity to the expressway and development.
Ajah remains a middle-ground option for savvy investors. It’s not as pricey as Lekki Phase 1, but it’s also not exactly cheap. The Sangotedo axis, Abraham Adesanya Estate, and Badore areas have witnessed a spike in demand due to improved road access and urban sprawl. In 2025, land prices in Ajah typically hover between ₦20 million to ₦60 million per plot, depending on the estate, title, and nearness to major landmarks. You won’t find ridiculous bargains anymore, but with the right guide (yes, someone like me), you can still spot a sweet deal before it becomes public knowledge.
Ikoyi, on the other hand, is a different ballgame. It is not for the faint-hearted or small-budget investor. The entry point is high, and the bar keeps rising. You’ll find land prices ranging between ₦1.5 million to ₦3 million per square metre, and that’s on a good day. Locations like Banana Island, Bourdillon, and Osborne Foreshore Phase 2 continue to attract top-tier investors, diplomats, and high-net-worth individuals. If you have the money and the patience to go through proper documentation and title verification, owning a piece of Ikoyi can be one of the most rewarding decisions you make in your lifetime.
What Influences the Price Differences?
Now, why such a difference in land prices between Lekki, Ajah, and Ikoyi?
One word: Value. But value is influenced by multiple things—title, infrastructure, security, social class, and future potential. For instance, a plot with a Certificate of Occupancy or Governor’s Consent in Lekki will cost significantly more than a plot with just a receipt and survey plan in Ajah.
The government’s road expansion projects, proximity to business hubs, and the rise of luxury developments also influence prices. In 2025, people are paying more not just for the land, but for the lifestyle and convenience the land offers. A cornerpiece plot near the Lekki Conservation Centre may cost more than a same-sized plot further down the same road simply because of its visibility and commercial potential.
Should You Still Buy Land in These Areas in 2025?
Absolutely—but do it smartly.
If you wait for the “perfect time,” you might end up pricing yourself out. The truth is, there’s rarely a perfect time. Lekki still has a few pockets of underpriced lands—especially in the Free Trade Zone area and around Eleko junction. Ajah remains ideal for middle-income earners who want a blend of comfort and affordability. And Ikoyi, while expensive, offers long-term capital appreciation and prestige that few other areas can boast of.
The game has changed, yes. But the rules remain the same: buy in growing locations, verify titles properly, and work with a professional who knows the terrain.
Be Wary, But Don’t Be Afraid
Yes, the market has scammers. Yes, you need to double-check documents. But that’s not a reason to fold your arms and watch land slip away. If anything, it’s a reason to be more proactive. It’s 2025, and technology now allows for better verification, safer transactions, and transparency like never before.
You don’t have to break the bank. You just need to position yourself early. The person who bought land in Sangotedo in 2020 is smiling in 2025. In five years’ time, people will say the same thing about those who buy today.
A Word from Someone Who’s in the Trenches
I’ve seen people cry tears of joy and tears of regret in this business. Those who took bold but smart steps often end up celebrating. Those who hesitated or tried to cut corners usually return with “had I known” stories.
So if you’re seriously considering investing in land in Lekki, Ajah, or Ikoyi, don’t just read guides and scroll through listings. Talk to someone who understands the terrain, has walked the streets, asked the hard questions, and seen the real documents.
And yes, that someone could be me. You see, land isn’t just land in Lagos. It’s a story, a future, a retirement plan, a legacy. Whether you want to build now or land-bank for a few years, knowing the land prices in Lekki, Ajah, and Ikoyi will help you make wiser decisions in 2025.

Olori Aderonke EmmanuelKing Honoured in Spirit-Filled Birthday Celebration as Valiant Special Prayer Squad Marks Third Anniversary
The atmosphere was charged with spiritual fervor and heartfelt celebration as the Valiant Special Prayer Squad, an intercessory arm of Adron Group’s spiritual framework, commemorated its third anniversary in an all-day prophetic gathering that also marked the 48th birthday of its founder, Olori Aderonke Omotola EmmanuelKing.
More than just a ceremonial event, the gathering was a fusion of spiritual depth and leadership tribute, highlighting the synergy between faith, corporate responsibility, and personal devotion. Olori Aderonke, who also serves as the Vice Chairman and Group Executive Director of Adron Group, has over the years exemplified a model of prayer-driven leadership and values-based stewardship.
Since its inception three years ago, the Valiant Special Prayer Squad has evolved into a spiritual backbone for Adron Group, mobilizing staff members, directors, and stakeholders into consistent intercession, prophetic declarations, and communal worship. The third anniversary, therefore, marked not just a chronological milestone, but a testament to divine guidance, unity, and spiritual growth within the organization.
The day-long celebration was rich with vibrant praise, worship sessions, moving testimonies of answered prayers, and exhortations from ministers of the gospel. Spiritual leaders and squad members led fervent sessions of intercession for the celebrant, the company, its leadership, and the nation at large, reinforcing the squad’s identity as a watchtower over corporate and national concerns.
One of the most touching moments was the outpouring of love and tributes directed at Olori Aderonke, whose commitment to spiritual discipline, staff welfare, and personal mentorship was lauded by all in attendance. Colleagues, friends, and mentees shared stories of transformation and growth under her leadership, painting a picture of a woman whose quiet strength has built bridges between the boardroom and the altar.
Adding to the beauty of the moment was the presence and participation of her husband, Aare Adetola EmmanuelKing, Chairman and CEO of Adron Group. His visible support, actively engaging in the entire day’s spiritual sessions was a reflection of their personal bond and a strong endorsement of the spiritual structure his wife has built within the company.
In her address, a visibly moved Olori Aderonke gave thanks to God for the grace to lead and impact lives. She expressed deep appreciation to the squad members, her family, and the entire Adron community for their loyalty and spiritual alignment. She also stressed the need for sustained prayer altars within institutions and homes, declaring that every lasting legacy must first be rooted in divine alignment.
The event concluded with a solemn benediction and communion service that left many in renewal and spiritual empowerment.
As the Valiant Special Prayer Squad marches into its fourth year, it does so with renewed strength, carrying a mandate to not only intercede for Adron Group but to be a beacon of spiritual order in corporate Nigeria.
