| Abstract: | One of the most major political decisions taken in Nigeria was to move the country's capital from Lagos to Abuja. The physical development of Abuja has involved moving the original inhabitants of the territory to areas not likely to be affected by the process of building the new town's infrastructure. This article examines the resettlement process and highlights the ecological disruption which has occurred in the resettlement areas. The need is shown for the proper evaluation of any resettlement project before and after the exercise. This form of evaluation will help shape land use policies for resettled areas and assist in the monitoring of their carrying capacity. |
