I've been thinking on this for awhile that can ABUJA survive like Lagos if the federal capital is perhaps moved to another location.
At Abuja currently it's difficult to justify why accommodation costs or prices of properties is so high. To me everything about Abuja is just hype. There's no natural attribute that can support the city if the country break up today and everybody needs to relocate back to his or her region.

Federal capital does not have to be a big or the biggest city examples


Switzerland - Bern
Ivory Coast Yamoussoukro
Australia -Canberra
USA ----Washington DC

Canada --Ottawa

A capital city for Nigeria does not need to be bigger than Benin City

It is the cash sharing that makes Abuja important.
30 Years later Lagos is naturally bigger

Next time,don't argue with ppl who know better than you.
The place you are referring to is just a place where all the big companies like LG,Samsung,Caterpillar companies,car sales and services companies have their warehouses..
There is almost zero production activities going on there.

I just told you construction is ongoing, while there small factories scatter round Abuja.
Industries doesn't determine whether a city will die or survive.
