Millennium Tower, High-rise architectural structure in Central District, Abuja, Nigeria.
The Millennium Tower is a high-rise in Abuja's Central District built from three cylindrical concrete pillars of varying heights, connected by a disc-shaped section at 110 meters above ground. Transparent stainless steel wings wrap around the base and extend outward, creating a shimmering visual effect.
Construction of the tower began in 2006 as part of the Nigeria National Complex and was completed in 2014. The project formed part of a broader development initiative to reshape the nation's capital center.
The tower displays design elements from traditional Nigerian cities, with patterns from local ceramics and textiles across its exterior walls. These decorative details reflect the craftsmanship traditions that visitors can notice while moving through the building.
The tower features three elevators to reach the observation deck and rotating restaurant, with an underground parking facility available. Arriving early helps avoid crowds during peak hours.
The transparent stainless steel wings at the base are visible from great distances and create a glowing effect at night that sets the building apart. Many visitors overlook this architectural feature and focus only on the interior spaces.
