What about the capital of Nigeria?

Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, is located on Gula River, a tributary of Niger River, where Niger River, Kaduna River, Plateau River and Kwara River meet. This city was selected as the new capital in 1976, and was completed in 199 1 to solve the problems caused by the oversize of the original capital Lagos and strengthen the ties between the federal government and various regions and ethnic groups.

Abuja is a well-planned this beautiful city. Its urban planning is crescent-shaped, located on the Guagua Plain in the northeast of the capital region. The city center is a national government office and business district, with high-rise buildings such as presidential palace, parliament building, legislative and judicial departments. The southern part of the city center is the main residential area, and the southern part of the city is planned as an industrial area. This plan makes Abuja look neat and orderly.

In addition, Abuja has a moderate geographical location, open terrain, tropical grassland climate, cool and pleasant, and abundant water resources. All these provide a good living environment for this city.

Compared with Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria, Abuja has better management and environment. Although Lagos used to be the economic center, due to poor governance, it is now facing problems such as crowded population, disorderly traffic and lack of urban sanitation. Abuja, on the other hand, has done a relatively good job in these areas, allowing residents to enjoy a more comfortable and livable environment.

Generally speaking, Abuja, as the capital of Nigeria, is a city with orderly planning, beautiful environment and comfortable life. However, everyone's feelings and experiences may be different. I suggest going to Abuja in person to better understand the customs and charm of the city.
