5. Minna

Located in the west central part of
Nigeria, Minna is a quiet and loveable
commercial city. This beautiful town
was a collection point for agricultural
produce way back then. According to

railway construction and this led to
the gradual development of the town
to now a major commercial city. The
populace in this area are involved in
all sorts of farming. This town is not
densely populated and it has a blend
of several cultures and life styles.
Minna has some notable tourist sites
to her name amongst which are the
Gurara falls, Baro port (which was
used in the colonial days for
transport), The Wushishi Transway
engine (First railway Locomotive
engine and others like Kainji lake
national park that is not so far from

because of the proximity of the Kainji

general life style here is quite
affordable.
