Suleja, Local government area in Niger State, Nigeria
Located 37 kilometers north of Abuja, Suleja stands at the intersection of major trade routes with a population exceeding 260,000 residents in Niger State.
The settlement originated in 1828 when Abu Ja, fleeing from Fulani jihadists, established a new town that remained an independent Hausa refuge against Zaria forces.
The Ladi Kwali Pottery Centre, established in 1950, maintains the traditional pottery practices of the Gbari people through exhibitions and training programs.
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport connects travelers to Suleja through a 21-kilometer route, offering multiple accommodation options near the city center.
The local economy combines traditional crafts such as cotton weaving and pottery making with agricultural trade, supporting a population of Gbari and Koro communities.
