ABUJA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTRE

The Abuja International Conference Centre (AICC) is a magnificent edifice surrounded by its own lovely garden and filled with historic shady pine trees. Once you step beyond the heavy metal and glass doors and walk into the foyer, you are lured to walk up the grand stair cases or to explore a hooded door way to your far right. Otherwise, walk straight across through the huge double doors into the main conference hall, the Africa Hall. All of these doors and stairways open up to the endless options of International Conference Centre.
