African country whose capital is Abuja (7)

I believe the answer is:

nigeria

(Other definitions for nigeria that I've seen before include "Land in Africa" , "West African country, capital Lagos" , "African country, capital Abuja" , "part of Africa" , "Country bordered by Benin, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
