Abuja, Capital city in central Nigeria
The city extends across multiple districts around Aso Rock, a 400-meter monolith, with governmental buildings concentrated in the Central Area and Three Arms Zone.
After its inception in 1828, Abuja underwent substantial development during the 1980s on the Chukuku Hills before replacing Lagos as the capital in 1991.
The National Mosque and National Christian Centre stand as central religious structures, reflecting the spiritual diversity of Nigeria's largest religious communities.
The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport connects Abuja with domestic and international destinations, while expressways link the city to other Nigerian regions.
The city maintains a temperature moderation at 360 meters elevation, with separate phases divided by expressways according to its original urban development plan.
