The new, planned city of Abuja is impressive.

“… the best purpose-built city in Africa as well as being one of the wealthiest and most expensive … “

Last day we made a driving tour of the modern city center. The National Cathedral is close to the National Mosque.

The highlight for me was a children’s park and small zoo at the foot of Zuma Rock.

My last night, some of the expat parents took me out to a new, gorgeous Club and restaurant. They had plenty of stories describing the challenges of living in Nigeria. But have no worries about their children living in Abuja. It’s safer than Las Vegas, Chicago or Toronto.
