5. Minna<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Most<\/p>\n

Located in the west-central part of Nigeria, Minna is a quiet and <\/span>beautiful city in Nigeria<\/span>.

This town is not densely populated and it has a blend of several cultures and lifestyles. Minna has some notable tourist sites to her name, amongst which are the Gurara Falls, Baro Port, The Wushishi Transway Engine (first railway locomotive engine) and others, like Kainji Lake National Park which is not too far from the city. <\/span><\/p>\n
