Getting Started
01 What is JustAbuja?
JustAbuja is the most comprehensive local directory for Abuja, Nigeria's capital city. We help residents, visitors, and anyone curious about Abuja discover restaurants, hotels, hospitals, banks, government offices, schools, attractions, and thousands of other places and services across the Federal Capital Territory.
02 Is JustAbuja free to use?
Absolutely. Searching the directory, browsing listings, and accessing all information on our site is completely free — no account required, no hidden fees. We believe local information should be accessible to everyone.
03 How is JustAbuja different from Google Maps?
While Google Maps is a great general tool, JustAbuja is built specifically for Abuja. We offer curated categories, locally verified information, detailed descriptions written with context that matters to Nigerians, and coverage of places that may not appear on global mapping platforms. Think of us as the local expert that Google Maps can't be.
04 How do I search for a place?
Type what you're looking for into the search bar on our homepage — whether it's a type of place (like "pharmacy" or "shawarma"), a specific business name, or an area in Abuja. You can also browse by category or area to explore what's available.
05 What categories of places do you list?
Our directory spans dozens of categories including restaurants and cafés, hotels and guest houses, banks, hospitals and clinics, pharmacies, schools and universities, government offices, shopping malls and markets, entertainment and nightlife, fitness centres, religious institutions, automotive services, real estate, professional services, and much more. If a category doesn't exist yet, let us know.
06 What areas does JustAbuja cover?
We cover the entire Federal Capital Territory (FCT), including all major districts and neighbourhoods: Wuse, Maitama, Garki, Asokoro, Gwarinpa, Jabi, Utako, Kubwa, Lugbe, Nyanya, Karu, Mpape, Durumi, Gudu, Apo, Lifecamp, and many more. Our goal is to leave no corner of Abuja undiscovered.
