LGBTQ+ guide to Abuja

Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, is a destination that requires careful consideration for LGBTQ+ travelers due to the country's laws and social attitudes towards the community. Same-sex relationships are criminalized in Nigeria, and LGBTQ+ individuals may face discrimination and persecution, making it essential for travelers to exercise extreme caution and discretion. Despite these challenges, Abuja remains a culturally rich city, and travelers who do choose to visit can find welcoming and inclusive spaces, particularly in private settings and among local LGBTQ+ networks.
