Start Your New Life as an Expat in Abuja

Right in the heart of Nigeria, Abuja is a new city and was designated the country's capital in the 1970s as a neutral site for Nigeria's many tribes. 40 years on and Abuja is an energetic and visitor-friendly city without the chaos and bulging population of Lagos. Clean and green, Abuja is home to many park areas with the largest — Millennium Park — being a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. With a population of less than a million, Abuja is relaxed compared with other Nigerian cities but it can still be a challenge for new expats and that's where the InterNations Abuja Community can help. InterNations allows you to find valuable information, e.g. in our dedicated Nigeria Guide articles, as well as socialize and network, both offline and online, through forums, groups, local events, and more. So simply ask fellow members for the best places to eat, drink and socialize while avoiding the tourist traps. Join today and you'll feel like a local in no time!

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Riyadh or Amsterdam, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

The Social Network for Expatriates in Abuja

With Nigeria rapidly developing into a modern industrialized nation there are many job opportunities available for expats with the right skills. The InterNations Abuja Community (as well as our Lagos Community) offers various topical forums where you can inform and get informed about the latest expat jobs, available accommodation, etc or simply socialize online. Our InterNations members are expats and global minds from the UK, China, the USA, Argentina, South Africa and more nations across the world, so whether you want to get together with people from a similar background or meet new people, InterNations is the place for you. We organize exciting events throughout the year, and groups to cultivate your hobbies; keep an eye out on our calendar!

    With InterNations I got to know some very nice Austrian and French women here in Abuja. We've gradually become very good friends.
