Firm Moves To Empower Women Through Land Ownership

Amid stunning statistics that 65 per cent of victims of land scams in Nigeria are women, Sytemap, a trusted leader in land acquisition and technology solutions, has developed an initiative to empower women through affordable and secure land ownership in the country.

The chief executive officer of Sytemap, Nnamdi Uba, who disclosed this at a webinar on Thursday, explained that the initiative, themed “Her Land, Her Future,” underscores the firm’s commitment to breaking cultural and economic barriers that have historically sidelined women from property ownership.

Uba said they are partnering with over 30 reputable estate developers to create unprecedented opportunities for women in the country to invest in land with confidence.

According to her, ‘’From March 8 to March 14, 2025, women, including professionals in Africa and the diaspora, will enjoy an exclusive 50 per cent discount on plots from verified estate developers through the Sytemap platform.

“For decades, women in Nigeria and across Africa have faced significant hurdles in land acquisition, including high costs, fear of fraud, and societal biases. Studies show that 65 per cent of victims of land scams in Nigeria are women.

“Women have long been marginalised in land ownership, a critical path to building wealth and security. Our mission is not only to make land ownership accessible but to eliminate the fears and uncertainties that hold women back.”

Uba added that with the new initiative, Sytemap leverages its reputation for transparency and cutting-edge technology to offer a simple, scam-free, and empowering process for land purchase.

“The campaign is designed to resonate with young professionals, particularly women with good-paying jobs ready to invest in their future. The initiative offers tailored support for women in the diaspora, including seamless international payment options and an innovative plot-monitoring app that allows buyers to manage their investments from anywhere in the world,” she said.
