Did you know the stone used to build Aso Villa might be the reason Abuja experienced earth tremors in 2018?

In this episode of Infrastructure in Sight, we uncover the fascinating and terrifying story of the Mpape Crushed Rock site. For 30 years, this massive quarry supplied the granite for Nigeria’s capital city—from the National Assembly to the airport runway.
