Abuja is the capital of Nigeria, one of Africa’s most populous nations. The population of Abuja is about one tenth that lives in Lagos, the old capital. We can say that Abuja is the planned city and it became the capital of Nigeria in 1991. Abuja’s location is almost the center of the country like any other developing nation to create an economic base and maintain political neutrality. The city was constructed in 1980s and downtown area is mostly completed. The city has mosque, churches, a large national assembly and headquarters of multi-nationals. Within city, shanty towns can be seen due to nearby rural population is coming in town in search of jobs.
Abuja spreads over more than eight thousand square kilometers (8000sq km) of appealing Green environment with lush vegetation, natural resources and a truly international ambience. Abuja is also known as Abuja Technology Village, a technology park and free zone. Abuja has good and developing road networks, exciting entertainment hotspots, an effective transport system, electricity supply and booming real estate industry that is currently attracting international attention.
The Abuja millennium park is being expanded in an ambitious tourist project to include the millennium tower and cultural center and museum that would boast of some of the most expansive collections of the African Art. This was supposed to be completed by 2010. However, some say that Abuja is not a tourist destination since there isn’t much in the way of sights to attract tourists. Businessmen do come to Abuja and it has a reputation as being one of the most expensive cities in Nigeria as far as the price of hotels and restaurants are concerned.
The suburbs of the town show what look underdeveloped and depict the picture of a slum.
