Jabi Lake, Reservoir and tourist attraction in Abuja, Nigeria

Jabi Lake spans 1300 hectares of water surface, featuring a recreational park, shopping mall, and promenades along its edges for outdoor activities.

The reservoir was constructed to supply water for 100,000 residents of Abuja before the construction of Lower Usuma Dam transformed it into a tourism site.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Jabi Lake, supporting their families through daily catches of Tilapia and other freshwater fish.

The lake offers boat rides, kayaking opportunities, and walking paths, while the adjacent Jabi Lake Mall provides shopping and dining options.

The reservoir functions as an urban cooling system, affecting the microclimate of surrounding areas through its water mass presence.
