The First time around

 

The first time Brandon went to Abuja was two years ago when he and his course mates went for a science conference. The Association of Physicist in his university had selected him and five others to represent it at the conference. Brandon is one of the brightest students in his department, therefore it did not come as a surprise to anyone when his name was included in the list of delegates to the conference.

The trip to Abuja was a very exciting prospect for Brandon; it was going to be his first time to visit the beautiful capital city of Nigeria. He had heard many interesting tales of that city. On social media, some of his friends boasted of how they had visited Abuja and just how magnificent it was. This made Brandon long for the day he will go to Abuja. His visit to Abuja came on a platter of gold because he and the other delegates have all their expenses for the trip catered for by the Physicist Association.

Brandon had the time of his life on that trip. He went to a few prominent places like the International Conference Centre (ICC), National Ecumenical Center and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). However, there won’t be enough time for him to repeat that experience this time around because his stop at Abuja will be very brief.
