Yes, in the Federal Capital Territory, marked as the national capital.

Do the small ones get names?

Yes. Where there is no room inside, the name is set outside with a thin line to it, so none is left off; A3 paper gives them more room.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: the states are numbered and pupils write each name and capital, with the answers after.

Are capitals with the same name as the state written out?

Yes: on Nigeria’s map every capital is named beside its dot, Kano, Kaduna and Enugu too, so the sheet has 74 names — 37 states and FCT, and 37 capitals.

Which paper should I choose?

A4 or US Letter fit everything, with just 2 capital names on short leader lines in the south-east. A3 gives larger type and needs none.

Is anything uploaded?

Example

Example: Nigeria’s 36 states and the FCT with capitals on A4, the crowded south

An SS1 student in Owerri prints a map to revise the states and capitals. The page’s settings on A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm): 37 names of states and the FCT, 37 capital dots with Abuja ringed, and 37 capital names, Kano and Sokoto included — 74 names in all. The south-east and south-south are the tight spots.

Only 2 names leave the map on A4, both capitals: Awka and Port Harcourt. On US Letter it is Awka and Umuahia; on A3 none, as the map is drawn larger.
All 37 state names fit inside their states on every paper.

State	Capital	Capital’s name on A4	On US Letter
Abia	Umuahia	Beside its dot	On a leader line
Anambra	Awka	On a leader line	On a leader line
Ebonyi	Abakaliki	Beside its dot	Beside its dot
