A Draw Back in Abuja

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

Abuja, the federal capital city would continue to have an allure for many people across Nigeria and beyond. Its attractions are many and they include its well macadamised thoroughfares that lure motorists to step a little bit harder on the accelerator sometimes with not too pleasant outcome. In Abuja, motorists do not have to wade through water logged streets or dodge vicious pot -holes -- I hear they call them man holes these days for their sheer sizes, so prevalent in a place like Lagos. And then of course Abuja's multiplicity of imposing, some would say futuristic edifices complete with ultramodern decor easily makes it the tourists' first place of call when they visit.
