SHINA PETERS AT THE ABUJA CARNIVAL - FESTOUR
The
Abuja National Carnival started in
2005 as an annual event aimed at showcasing the rich and diverse cultural heritage of
Nigeria, and for promoting the country as a safe, warm and hospitable tourism destination.
The annual carnival, coordinated by the
Federal Ministry of
Tourism,
Culture and National
Orientation was again hosted by Abuja from
November 24 to 27,
2012.
Aside from the different state contingents, there were participants from other countries who grace the event.
There are lots of trading activities at the various carnival routes. At
Jabi Lake, where the boat regatta is held, many
FCT residents make brisk businesses selling food, beverages, clothing items amongst several other residents and people from all walks of life troop to the venue to watch the regatta.
