A capital should always b at middle of d country so that it won't be easily conquered. Lagos a case study, it will be very easy 2b conquered by d enemies because of it's closeness 2 water. But, before u can conquer abuja; u have 2 conquer d cities dat surrounds it 1st & before u do dat, they(Abuja) must hav being alerted.. 3 Likes |

Abuja as the capital of Nigeria was proposed by late General Muhtala Muhammed before he died. He wanted the seat of Government to be at the center. But Babangida was the president that made the final move of Government seat from Lagos to Abuja. Babangida made that move because he believed he wasn't safe in Lagos any more as there were several failed coup attempts against him in Lagos.e.g the orkar and the vatsa coups.but the major reason General Muhtala proposed was because he wanted the FCT to be at the center of the country. |
