Understanding land measurement is one of the biggest challenges for land buyers and 
investors—especially when comparing Acre, Hectare, and Plot sizes. Because plot sizes differ 
across Nigerian states, it is important to learn the accurate measurement for Rivers State, and 
how it affects land purchases.
At Tech City Real Estate Ltd, we believe knowledge empowers investors. This simple guide 
explains Acre vs Hectare, using the official Rivers State plot size of 465sqm, and provides 
rounded figures to help you make confident decisions.

 Standard Plot Size in Rivers State (Port Harcourt)

In Rivers State, including all Tech City Real Estate Ltd estates, the official plot size is:
➡ 100ft × 50ft = 465sqm (Standard Plot)
This is the exact measurement surveyors and developers use in Port Harcourt and surrounding 
areas.

 What Is an Acre?

An Acre is a global land measurement unit widely used in Nigerian real estate.
 Size of an Acre
1 Acre = 4,047sqm
 How Many Plots (465sqm) Make One Acre?
4,047sqm ÷ 465sqm = 8.7 plots
➡ Rounded Value: 1 Acre = 9 plots
Rounding up gives a cleaner and more reliable estimate for buyers and developers.
Visual Example
An acre is roughly the size of a standard football field without the goalpost areas.

 What Is a Hectare?
A Hectare is a larger unit of land measurement used for big estates, farms, and government
layouts.
Size of a Hectare
1 Hectare = 10,000sqm
How Many Plots (465sqm) Make One Hectare?
10,000sqm ÷ 465sqm = 21.5 plots
➡ Rounded Value: 1 Hectare = 22 plots
This is the most accurate rounded figure used in estate planning.
Visual Example
A hectare is about the size of two football fields placed side by side.
Rivers State Land Measurement (Rounded Values)
Measurement Size (sqm) Plot Size (Rivers) Number of Plots
1 Plot 465sqm 100ft × 50ft 1 plot
1 Acre 4,047sqm 465sqm 9 plots
1 Hectare 10,000sqm 465sqm 22 plots
✔ These are the values used by developers, surveyors, and planning authorities across Port
Harcourt.
When Should You Use Acre or Hectare?
Use Acre When:
• Calculating small–medium land purchases
• Buying clusters of plots
• Negotiating estate extensions
• Understanding developer pricing
Use Hectare When:
• Buying very large land areas
• Planning housing estates

At Tech City Real Estate, both Acre and Hectare are used depending on the size and layout of 
the estate.
