It is obvious that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, is one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria. The city which is also the Seat of Government, has been listed among the top 20 fastest growing cities in the world.
Ironically, some parts of the FCT has been allegedly abandoned by the government.
Despite the good roads within the city centre, the outskirts which includes Nyanya, Jikwoyi, Lugbe, Durumi 3, Mpape, Karu village, Idu, Gishiri, Katampe etc; are not only prone to demolition, they have not enjoyed a fair share of the development of the ultra modern city.
Most of these areas lack reliable sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, timely law enforcement and other basic services.
The following pictures of Abuja slums will shock you.
