I have been reasoning, having traveled to most state capitals in Nigeria and seening how underdevelop most capital cities are, it is pertinent to state the list of the most underveloped capital cities in Nigeria by geo-political zone:

(1) south east - Umuahia (Abia state).

(2) South south - Yenogoa (Bayelsa state).

(3) South west - Ado ekiti (Ekiti state).

(4) North central - Lokoja (Kogi state).

(5) North east - Damaturu (Yobe state).

(6) North west - Gusau (Zamfara state).

For the ones I have visited, Lokoja is the least developed... Even some second cities of some state (Nsukka-Enugu, Zaria-Kaduna, Azare-Bauchi) looks better 😏

We know, even something presumably human from Umuahia, via way of Lokoja will still be running their basket mouth? Confused Onuman.

North Central.
Lafia is terrible for a capital city.
Minna is not that good too.
Forget lokoja the aura and atmosphere alone oozes of nonsense.

North west
Gusau the name suggest its gutter.
Sokoto that one is just there.

North East
Except for maiduguri and gombe the rest are rubbish.

South South
Yenagoa is over rated.
Benin too many old buildings.

South East.
Umuahia is rubbish.
Abakaliki is picking up compared to the last time I was there.
Awka could still do better.
Owerri is not that bad.

I have been to all the states in Nigeria so I am talking from experience.

No state capital in Nigeria is developed, they are all pieces of shit including ikeja and Port harcourt by global standard but the worst I have visited are as follows:

1. Lokoja (this one na dead place)
2. Lafia (na only two dualized road dey for here)
3. Ado Ekiti (mtcheew)
4 Umuahia (the government here is sleeping)
5. Yenegoa (this place na total disgrace).
6. Awka ( it's an expressway capital with 3 flyovers and 2 dualized roads)


The best I have visited by Nigerian standard are:
1. Port harcourt
2. Enugu
3. Ibadan
4. Owerri
5. Ilorin
6. Ikeja

Ps: I have not visited Kaduna and Kano state.

You are right.

Enugu is such a beautiful and lovely place.

Owerri is not bad but the present governor is not doing enough in the state, Awka for me is still very small with one major road and additional duacarriage roads. Umuahia too many bad roads. Minna is big for nothing.

But the abeokuta I travel to the last time, I wasn't too impress with the level of development. Calabar is living in past glory. Uyo is ok.

Among all the states I've been to, the least developed capital or major city is Lokoja. In fact, there's no single city in the state. Could this be a result of failed government?

I agree with you but the did has been done.
Re: Most Underdeveloped State Capitals In Nigeria by juman(m): 6:33am On May 19, 2023
We don't have any developed city in Nigeria.
They are developing.

But some are worse because of chronic bad leadership.

Zamfara is like abia state. Continous bad leadership.
