Things You Didn't Know About Abuja :The Federal Capital Territory Of Nigeria!
![IMG-20181106-WA0019.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRCzfz2VaYH8hgTYkHsbmmF4MBQJGJBYTH25mHzer4qPP/IMG-20181106-WA0019.jpg)

One major reason of travelling is to learn about  the history of a place, it's people and topography.Also to know about their culture and religion and the kind of food they eat etc... 
Abuja is a beautiful city and I can confidently say that, with different shades and shapes of beauty but not without its own drama and craziness.!
So here are a few things About Abuja 

1.Abuja was among the fastest growing city between 2000-2010 with over 750,000 residents. 

2.According to Mercer's 2016 cost of living rankings Abuja ranks as 20th most costliest city in the world and 35th most expensive city for newly relocated residents due to inflation. 
You can read more about this [Here](https://www.worldscapitalcities.com/capital-facts-for-abuja-nigeria/)

So, if you want to relocate to Abuja you have to consider this and more as the cost of living in the city is so high! 

3.Capital Landmarks located in Abuja includes Aso Rock, Presidential complex 
National Mosque And The National Stadium.etc...

4.Aso Rock Is not the only rock in Abuja as other rocks exist too. 

5.The Aso Rock, Presidential complex was completed in 1991 by Ibrahim Babaginda and that was thesame year the capital of Nigeria was moved from Lagos to Abuja. 

6.Abuja is located in the middle, north central point and heart of Nigeria. 

7.**Abuja is the only purpose built city in Africa.**
Abuja was built to be the capital of Nigeria from ground up,the city was planned for and everything within was originally intended. 

8.**Abuja is the Headquarters of ECOWAS.**
It stands as the headquarter of economic communities of west African states administratively and otherwise.

9.**Diverse Religions In Abuja**
Christians, Muslims, Hindu, etc exist in Abuja with their various places of worship and peaceful co-existence. 

10.There are no commercial motorcycles in the city only tricycles which are only limited to certain areas within the city. 

11.Abuja has the best roads in Nigeria but, most of the roads leading to Abuja from other states are in terrible conditions not safe for drivers and passengers... 
This is crazy because, those roads are federal roads and the government is yet to do anything about it. 

12.**Abuja has the lowest crime rate in Nigeria**
It is termed one of the safest city in Nigeria. Regardless, one still needs to be careful and vigilant. 

Hope you learned something new today?
Thanks for reading!

Wow! I didn't know Abuja has the lowest crime rate in Nigeria. But I know I felt relaxed, even while walking in the middle of the night along the streets of Abuja.

Nice info there
