Nigerian Presidential Complex

Nigerian Presidential Complex, Official presidential residence in Asokoro District, Abuja, Nigeria

The Nigerian Presidential Complex, known as Aso Rock Villa or the State House, stands at Yakubu Gowon Crescent in Asokoro District, Abuja. It comprises the Main Presidential Villa with the President's office and residence and the Vice President's offices, plus the State House Conference Center, State House Annex, State House Clinic and Akinola Aguda House. The 400-metre Aso Rock monolith lies within the complex.

The complex opened in 1991 and served President Ibrahim Babangida in the newly established capital city. The project marked an important moment in confirming Abuja as Nigeria's new seat of government.

The name comes from Aso Rock, the 400-metre monolith the complex encloses. Nigerians call the seat of power "The Villa" or simply "Aso Rock", and the name serves as a byword for the Federal Government itself. The Presidential Guards Brigade performs a changing of the guard ceremony outside the villa each week.

The property is heavily secured and not open to public visits since it serves as a government function area. Visitors can see the exterior structure and surroundings from a distance, especially from adjoining public routes.

The villa takes its name from Aso Rock, the 400-metre monolith it encloses within the Three Arms Zone. The rock also supplies the nickname "The Aso Rock" used for the federal government itself, and the Presidential Guards Brigade mounts a weekly changing of the guard ceremony outside the villa.
