Minna Travel Guide

Minna is a railway town located very much in the center of Nigeria, the most populous black nation in the world. The city is walled by granite hills to the east and to the north. The south and the western parts of the town extend on a lowly plain that reaches down to the Niger river valley.

Minna has a University of Technology, with many foreing national students and teachers. There are other higher colleges of education in the town.

The weather is generally moderate, with lows of 24 degrees C. and highs of 30 in the dry season, just around April.

The vegetation is tall grassland, with very much woody areas close to river valleys. The town is close to the largest hydro-electric generation plant in Nigeria, Shiroro. There is a large artificial lake which is attractive and a source of fishing for the inhabitants.
