The cost of living is high in Abuja. Mortgage is high. Security is good here. It’s a beautiful city with modern infrastructure. Movement can be frustrating without your personal car.
Beautiful environment, good for tourism. Corruption is high here. Be warned.

If you’re moving to Abuja, Nigeria, it’s important to know that it is the capital city and the political hub of the country. It’s a modern city with diverse cultures, cuisines, and thriving nightlife. However, like any big city, it’s important to take necessary safety precautions and be aware of your surroundings.

The serenity of the environment, level exposure of the people living around us such that the communication among us is simple, swift and interesting. Also, the basic infrastructure needed for survival are easily assessed in the environment. Our greatest fear in the neighborhood is the recurrent robbery which causes loss of property and lives.

The city is the capital of Nigeria with a lot of political presence. Law enforcement is a very serious in the city therefore a resident must be law abiding. The city is the most expensive place in Nigeria. There city is governed by a minister under the direct supervision of the president.

The city I reside is specifically made up of working class citizens. It is the capital of my country, the very place central to running the affairs of the country. In fact it is the commercial hub of the state. One of the key benefits of staying here is that it is central to all activities going on in the state, security is fully guaranteed.

Abuja is the capital of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is relatively one of the safest places in Nigeria. It is the home to our beloved president and has many tourist attractions such as Aso Rock, Zuma Rock and many others. Mornings in my city are very cool and traffic is minimal. Also, crime rate here is low as the police are at each nook and cranny. My city is also a very beautiful place at night as the streets are brightly lit up.

FCT Abuja is the capital of Nigeria. It is at the middle region of the country. The city is very beautiful in scenery and it houses beautiful monumental buildings as well. Security is the watchword here and nobody messes around anyhow and goes scot-free. People enjoy living in this town; anybody visiting would love the city.

Blessing, says: 2020

Abuja is in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria and is therefore filled with a variety of Job opportunities either part time jobs or full time jobs. Aside from being the most beautiful city in Nigeria, it is also the safest city to reside as there a police stationed at different strategic positions for the safety of its residents.

A person moving here should be conversant with the market areas, transport schedules and more especially will need to be security conscious seeing we live in dangerous times. there is need for health consciousness in what we eat as most of the food supply needs adequate sterilization.

Immigration laws, his rights as an immigrant, the character of the person, and their general way of life. Their religious activities and the way they relate with visitors or none Citizens. The kind of job they do, their family lifestyle, how and where they spend their leisure, etc. that I would know how best to relate with them.

Miracle, says: 2020

Someone moving to Abuja must know that there is no steady electricity supply, and they’re at the risk of facing security challenges ranging from kidnapping, rape to even death. I will strongly advise that anybody moving here should be very careful while dealing with natives from there.

Chidiogo, says: 2020

The city is quiet. It lacks the hustle and bustle of developed cities, but there are enough clubs for club goers and nightcrawlers. It is also safe in terms of security. We have surveillance cameras and police men for security reasons. Since it is a developing city, with new structures coming up everyday, construction workers, artisans, painters, etc seem to find work easily. Engineers and architects will find the city viable.

To move to Abuja, you must be prepared for the heat. Due to its location at the heart of Nigeria, there are no major water bodies to cool the land. The city experience temperatures above 47 degrees Celsius. You should also be prepared for the utter chaos and disorderliness in the city. People often disregard the rules and the law enforcement agencies do nothing about it.

Erepamo, says: 2020

Be careful of theft and there’s lots of traffic, so be prepared for that. We have an issue with electricity and internet services. Not to talk of corruption, lack of jobs, poverty, etc. if moving to work, the salary is not worth the stress. The education sector is average, it should be worth a try.

Chiamaka, says: 2020

Moving to Abuja, like every other city in the world, is a whole lot of work. However, Abuja is has peculiar challenges which such a person must be aware of. Firstly, crime rate in this city is a big challenge so movements should be done during the day. Secondly, things are a bit on the high side when comparing cost with other cities in Nigeria. Finally, it will do you a lot of good to master he Hausa language as most inhabitants of the city are Northerners who communicate better in Hausa.

Tolulope, says: 2020

Abuja is a concrete city full of corporate activities. The road network is impeccable with relatively affordable modes of transportation. It’s important to stay indoors at night, as there’s an ever-increasing level or night robbery. The weather in Abuja is almost unbearable with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. it’s a decent place to start a life.
