Anybody that knows these two cities very well, will agree with me that Abuja city is larger than Lagos city, although many Nigerians think otherwise.

Abuja has good roads and fantastic road networks, which makes any part of the city accessable within 1hour, probably that is why people think lagos is larger in size..

Lagos is larger in size than Abuja.

Lagos has an area of 999.6square kilometers as compared to Abuja's 713square km

Ever wondered why Lagos supports the largest population in Nigeria without crumbling? I bet you that with all the good roads and infrastructures in Abuja if half of the populace of Lagos where to reside in Abuja, it would crumble. #fact

Out of the 8,000 sqkm only 250 makes up for Abuja city proper
