Directions of areas within the park.
It was 1st October and it's Independence Day anniversary for Nigeria.
I wanted to use this opportunity as a new Local Guide in Abuja to connect with other guides around and to map some places around the area.
I arrived the meeting point (Abuja central park) at exactly) 0812am local time.
I go round the park to familiarise myself with the area while waiting for others to arrive.
Water fountain at the car park
Go kart Arena
children play area
Ambulance and pharmacy store
The park is very big with lots of places to carry out many activities for both kids and adults.
The restaurant section has outside sitting and indoor sitting. I didn't had chance to taste their food as they told me they start selling by 12pm.
outside dinning area with floor chess board
The parking area is very spacious and it is wheelchair accessible.
I waited for 2 hours no one turn out to join even though 16 persons had RSVP
While I'm about to go I received a call from @Zinta that she is coming.
me and Zinta
We discuss and she asked me some questions on how to make good contribution. This is my first time meeting her physically.
She invited me to another meet up that was scheduled that same day in the evening by another local Guide. (This is a story of another day)
This is my first Abuja meet up.
Kindest Regards.

Good job @Sagir. 😁😁😁😁 Normally guides like engaging in aerobics and other hobbies Saturday morning that was why your meetup was affected. I attended an independence aerobics organised by my hike group and we stayed longer than I expected. I am glad i made it to the meetup regardless. I am glad i learned one or two tricks from you on good reviews which i have started implementing. Abuja is more than glad to have you join us, cheers to more and interesting meetups in the near future.

Thanks @Zinta
I'm use to Lagos life but I have learnt some lessons.
Going forward when putting new meet up I will consider another timing.
Thanks

Hello @Sagir
I also agree with @Zinta the time was pretty early for a Saturday morning where most guides use that time to exercise, run errands or for market runs that's I also missed the meetup too.
It was also very nice to meet you at the second meetup that day and finally, welcome to Abuja!
