Abuja is located within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Nigeria. It is a planned city known for its modern architecture, wide boulevards, and green spaces. It became the capital in 1991 due to its central location and potential for development. Abuja is home to many important government buildings and institutions and international organizations, making it a popular destination for international conferences and events. The city offers a range of accommodation options and is served by Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, connecting it to major cities across Africa and beyond.
Abuja is home to many important government buildings and institutions, including the Nigerian National Assembly, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, and the Nigerian Presidential Complex at Aso rock, which houses the residence and offices of the President of Nigeria. The city is also home to many local and international non-governmental organisations and is a popular destination for international conferences and events.
In 2019, the annual general meeting and scientific conference of the Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN) was successfully hosted in Abuja by the FCT chapter of the NSN, and in September 2023 the city is set to receive delegates and conference participants once again.
