About Abuja

Visit local eateries and street food vendors to try dishes like suya (spiced grilled meat), jollof rice, and moi moi (steamed bean pudding).

Public displays of affection are frowned upon, and it's illegal to take photographs of government buildings without permission.

Use public transportation or ride-hailing apps, and dine at local markets and street food stalls for affordable meals.

While photography is generally allowed, avoid taking pictures of military installations, government buildings, and people without their consent.

Don't miss out on kilishi (dried spicy meat), pounded yam with egusi soup, and zobo (hibiscus drink).

Support local businesses, avoid single-use plastics, and respect natural sites by not littering.

Nigerians are generally friendly and appreciate polite conversation. It's common to exchange pleasantries before getting to the main topic.

It's customary to wash your hands before eating, especially when dining with your hands. Always use your right hand for eating and passing items.
