Very small (clothes size) = OS + GAL reversed
very = SO + GAL, small (abbreviated) girl, all reversed

I did consider very = SO with GAL but I didn't think much of the use of 'small' in the clue. I think this must be it though. Thanks

Lagos has not been a capital city for some years. The capital of Nigeria is now Abuja.
