Crushed Rock, Mpape

Crushed Rock is an abandoned quarry in Mpape, Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. The quarry was opened in 1977, just a year after the decision to relocate Nigeria's capital to Abuja from Lagos. During the 1980s the quarry provided much of the stone for the construction of the new city. It has been aband

oned since at least 2010. The quarry and quarry lake are now a popular tourist location.
