The secret behind the massive love for Abuja for both residents and visitors. Who wouldn’t love a city like this?

Welcome to Abuja.

Abuja is the capital city of the most populous Black Country in the world with a total land mass spanning about 1,769km2. It is bounded by other equally amazingly unique states as Nasarawa, Kogi and Niger state.

The City was made the capital of Nigeria on December 12, 1991. Abuja is originally inhabited by the Gbagyi people who were believed to have inhabited the region for centuries now. The city has two major entrances and exits: the city gate and the Mararaba/Nyanya axis.

Here are the 10 amazing reasons people love to leave or visit Abuja.

1: The excellent road network in Abuja.
One of the complaints of visitors to Abuja is the road network but not for the wrong reasons. The roads are world standard and every street and district look frustratingly like the other. You could be in Maitama district and think you are in Asokoro because the roads and streets amazingly look pretty much the same. This applies to the highways too. I want to believe that the world class road infrastructure in Abuja is thanks to the then Minister of FCT, El-Rufai under the government of former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.

From the high quality of the roads, to the aesthetics of the road network designs, Abuja has one of the best road infrastructures in the world. It’s important to note that at a time, under El-Rufai as minister of The FCT, Abuja was said to be the fastest growing city in the world.

A joke has it that people from Lagos Nigeria and other parts of Nigeria come to Abuja only to drive around the city and have a feel of “abroad” in Nigeria, and then go back to their bases feeling like they travelled abroad. Lol!

I think there are more highways, flyovers, roundabouts, bridges and pedestal bridges in Abuja than all the West African countries put together. The crazy thing is that the surface has been barely scratched in terms of the City’s Master Plan implementation... Read More

To leave or visit? That doesn't make sense. You mean "live"?
