Abidjan

'''Abidjan''' is the largest city and former capital of Côte d'Ivoire. Abidjan is a major sea port. Major industries include food processing, lumber, automobile manufacturing, and the manufacture of textiles, chemicals, and soap. There is also a large oil refinery. In 1983, Yamoussoukro was designated as the nation's capital, but most government offices and foreign embassies are still in Abidjan. The University of Abidjan, several technical colleges, and the national library and museum are in the city. A 1995 estimate placed Abidjan’s population at around 2,793,000.
