Nyanya

Nyanya is a dense satellite town on the south-eastern edge of the Abuja FCT, on the Abuja–Keffi road just beyond Karu. It is one of the most congested commuter towns for people working in Abuja — the morning and evening traffic jams on the Nyanya–Karu–Abuja corridor are legendary. Nyanya has a bustling central market and a mix of permanent housing and informal settlements.

About 30 minutes from Abuja city centre via the Keffi road. Buses, taxis, and keke connect Nyanya to Abuja's Central Business District.

Keke tricycles and walking are the main options within town. The main road is extremely congested during peak hours.

The Nyanya Market is a bustling local market. Nyanya is a good place to observe the daily commuter life of the FCT's satellite towns.
