The Hall of the Fifty Governors · Abuja, Nigeria

Abuja knows the McSkunkville way: keep your word, keep your receipts. These days, letters postmarked Abuja sit in the town's welcome drawer, and Come by the lore pages; Abuja always has a seat.

The Hall of the Fifty Governors stands beside the College of Law: fifty alcoves in marble, one for every state of the Union, each holding the state seal, a model of its capitol, and a writing desk stocked with paper and stamps — because the Hall's whole doctrine is that a governor is someone you can WRITE TO.

Docents teach visitors the three levers every citizen holds in every state: the governor's office, the attorney general, and the open-records act. Above the entry: KNOW WHO GOVERNS YOU. THEN WRITE THEM.

The fiftieth alcove — Oklahoma's — gets the most letters. The Hall mails every one.

Worldwide Access — The Hall of the Fifty Governors greets readers in Abuja and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
