Trust me. I have googled and I have only gotten more confused.

Karu is a local government under Nasarawa state. Karu is not part of the FCT.

Karu is a local government in Nasarawa state, but parts of Abuja after Kugbo furniture market down to Jikwoyi are referred to as Karu Site and it is in FCT.

We have two Karu...one is in Nasarawa state while the other is in Abuja.

If u give me the landmark I can give u the boundaries.

Thanks for the response. So, if I get you right, Karu Site is different from Karu?

This answer contradicts others—same issue when I googled. Just got conflicting answers.

From that market close to the primary school continuing to Jikwoyi is Abuja karu.

Parts of Karu is in FCT just before Jikwoyi.. from Karu, you can link Nasarawa through City College, that one is old Karu .. then you have new Karu inside Nasatawa State after Maraba as if you're heading towards Keffi.

So basically there is Abuja Karu (where you have NUC quarters, Supreme Court quarters, NCS quarters etc.) and there is Nasarawa Karu.

You're welcome.. the Abuja Karu is sometimes called Karu site like someone rightly pointed out.

Yes

Karu site is different from New Karu. New Karu is way after Mararaba and is the heart of Karu LGA of Nassarawa State. Karu site is not far from Asokoro and is part of the FCT.

Karu is not among the 6 LGA councils in the FCT. Karu is Nasarawa, nothing contradictory here. Why does the Nasaraw state electoral commission conduct LG elections in Karu then?

Not arguing with you o. Just need clarification.
While googling is see that AMAC is one of the LGA councils in the FCT. And Karu (From the explanations I have gotten from others here, that should be Karu site) is listed as part of AMAC.
Abi?

Is city college Abuja or Nasarawa

City college is technically in Nasarawa because if you notice, the road leads to Abacha road and Maraba.. there is one canal that demarcates the Abuja Karu (just after the ECWA junction) from the City college axis.
