Am not from Kaduna, but I reside there.

I can testify to the facts that Kaduna is bless with school. I love it !

It's has one of the best, biggest university in West Africa, ABU to be precise. One thing I love about their educational institutions is, the low rate in tuition fees. It's very affordable !

IrepJos ! cheesy

Bro how about cost of accommodation lemme say one bedroom apartment at Goni Gora Southern kaduna.

Which cities in Northern Nigeria are frequented more by visitors? Surprisingly, the north is still attracting investors and generating tourism revenue yearly to the Nigerian government. We have listed five states you may love to visit in the north that are exciting and full of life. We would not bring up the capital city, Abuja because it is unique and definitely not avoided by Nigerians.

Kano

A city known for its commercial activities in Nigeria is Kano. It is the second biggest city in the country and is dubbed the ‘Center of Commerce.’ Kano was named after the legendary Aminu Kano. It attracts hundreds of thousands of people to it including the power figures in the country. It is strategically located and has links to African countries like Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Republic of Benin by road. Its Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport serves both local and international flights. Kano is not lagging behind with hotels that range from budget hotels to luxury five star hotels. A lot of Nigerians aren’t even aware Kano is very beautiful with numerous places to visit. [hyperlink] We have listed some important places you can visit when you are in Kano.

Kaduna

Kaduna is not far away from Kano. It is barely an hour drive from the ancient city of Kano. Kaduna is called the ‘Crocodile City’ and is rich in culture and tourism. There is an even mixture of both the Christians and Muslims. Take away tourism from Kaduna, and you would embrace intellect. There are so many great educational institutions in the city which pulls a chunk of Nigerians to it as students.

Jos

The temperate weather of Jos makes it peculiar among other cities in the north usually associated with harsh weather. The town is relatively peaceful with hundreds of places to visit. Nollywood still loves this place, and once in a while great movies are shot here. Things are not expensive, and there are a lot of expatriates here. With a population of over 900,000 according to the 2006 census, Jos has become one of the biggest cities in Nigeria. Sometimes, it seems like Jos is a city in another country because of its temperate weather and the lifestyle of the people.

Lokoja

Lokoja is the confluence city that brings together rivers Niger and Benue. Today, Lokoja has become a stop-over for travelers coming to Abuja, Kaduna, Kano and other cities in the northern Nigeria. You can feel the friendliness of the people who easily mingle with strangers here.

Makurdi

Finally on our list is the city of Makurdi. It is the capital city of Benue – the food basket of the nation that has become a haven for those who love food as a business or as consumers. There are loads of tourist attractions here for you to see

Besides terrorists and bandits north is good to stay, but there is other crime of looting shops by the theifs in the night, so doing business their is not complete safe.

Kano is better than all the 5 state in the east.
Far better, the easterners know it is just the simple truth.
Re: Five Northern Cities That Attract Visitors In Nigeria by CSTRR: 10:48am On Jan 08, 2021
From what I got online from arewa Twitter, Kaduna state is the best northern state.

Even then, it has no attraction to me.

Insecurity, Islamic fundamentalism, don't do well to attract visitors.

Just look at Nigeria's international tourism numbers, compared to Ghana.

It's even rubbing off on the rest of the country.

Where is source and statistics to back up the claim.
I am sure most of 'visitors' could have traveled by road, which safe road did they use?

Who goes to Kano for tourism?

Give us hard data.

We are not talking about northerners visiting their own people.

The obudu mountains has the biggest tourism value in West Africa.
No place like it.

Unfortunately, it has no future.
That is the consequence of being yoked to Nigeria with news of BH and ISWAP.

If it was in Ghana, it would have been a mad Money spinner.
