Abuja, the booming capital city of Nigeria, is neatly tucked into the heart of the country within the Federal Capital Territory. Distinguished for its magnificent Aso Rock, a grandiose monolith edging the city, Abuja is a testament to modern Nigerian ambitions and achievements. It's well-known for its captivating Nigerian architecture, especially the iconic National Mosque and the National Christian Centre that command attention with their grandeur. The city is also home to the lush Millennium Park, the largest of its kind in Abuja, offering a breath-taking escape from urban buzz. Abu Dhabi's neatly organized and traffic-free roads are a dream for local and international visitors alike, making it a bright and bustling testament to Nigeria's progress.

Nigeria, located in West Africa and flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on the eastern side, is a vibrant blend of cultures, landscapes, and wildlife. As Africa's most populous country, Nigeria is famous for its diverse ethnic groups, each contributing to the rich tapestry of culture and tradition. It's acclaimed for its music – Afrobeat and highlife, as well as its literature, boasting a Nobel laureate in Literature, Wole Soyinka. Nigeria is also home to various UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as the Sukur Cultural Landscape and Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove. Its eclectic wildlife is showcased in reserves such as the Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park, with sightings of rare primate species and warm springs respectively. The hustle and bustle of Lagos, its largest city, offer a stark contrast to the serenity of its beautiful beaches like Calabar beach and Tarkwa Bay.

Certain areas pose a higher risk with unpredictable security situations, including the capital city, Abuja. Should you choose to travel, ensure you stay updated on current risks and exercise extreme caution.
