Aso Rock, Mountain peak in Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria
The granite formation reaches a height of 936 meters above sea level, forming a dominant natural feature in the Abuja landscape.
The Nigerian government relocated the capital from Lagos to Abuja near Aso Rock in 1991, establishing the Presidential Complex at its base.
The name Aso comes from the Asokoro people's language, meaning victorious, reflecting the community's identity as people of victory.
The rock formation serves as a reference point for visitors exploring the government district, which includes the National Assembly and Supreme Court.
The geological structure dates back approximately 150 million years to the Jurassic period, standing as the largest monolith in Africa.
