Skyscrapers in (Lafia City)
The people in the northern part of Nigeria don't like building skyscrapers, houses, or offices, but they prefer building classic and simple-looking houses and offices, that are even more beautiful as compared to skyscrapers.
However, in Nigeria as a whole one can hardly see a building that is a skyscraper, because building a skyscraper will require a lot of money and expertise on the ground.
Here in this, Post I have shared five key buildings, which are all meant for commercial activities in Lafia, as regards the contest organized by @goodybest. Going by this, you can take a look at these classic buildings below.
United Bank of Africa (UBA)

The building is owned by UBA Bank, which is located along Jos Road Lafia. The bank is just a 2-story building that has both a down floor and an upper floor.
The downfalls are where deposit, withdrawal and other services are rendered, whereas the upstairs is where the manager and other top official offices are.
Zenith Bank

The building above is owned by Zenith Bank, which is also located along Jos Road Lafia. The bank is also a 2 story building that has both a down floor and an upper floor. The banking hall is more bigger than that of the United Bank of Africa.
First Bank of Nigeria

The building above is where the first bank activities usually take place. The building is not a story building, but a flat that has a bigger hall than that of Zenith Bank and United Bank of Africa. It is also located along Jos road.
Chicken Republic

We all know, how Chicken Republic is built across Nigeria. The buildings are all of the same size, and this one in Lafia is also the same as in other states in Nigeria.
The building is a well-equipped building, where one can easily enter inside, buy food eat, and come out. It is located along Abuja Highway Road and Markudi Way.
Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and other offices

The building above, which was taken from afar because of traffic, is a 3-story building, which is used for offices such as CAC, Law Chamber, and other offices. It is an old building, shall.

Thanks for inviting me and showing me how people like and build their houses/offices in Nigeria. I live in two countries and both these countries have opposite styles due to their population. I personally like the style you showed in your pictures.
I agreed with you that you guys do not have skyscrapers in your area because there is no any trend for the skyscraper. The pictures that you have taken are beautiful. Best of luck.
Hello @josepha thanks for taking part in my contest, though the pictures are not Skyscrapers. I hope to see you in my next contest, hopefully it will be a simple thing that is rampant.
