Aba Nigeria Temple, Mormon temple in Aba, Nigeria
Aba Nigeria Temple is a place of worship in Aba, Nigeria, distinguished by walls of Namibian pearl granite and topped with a statue of the angel Moroni. The building sits on a large site and contains multiple rooms for religious ceremonies as well as facilities to support visitors and staff.
Nigerian believers requested missionaries starting in the 1960s, which led to the Church establishing its first branch in the country. This internal interest drove rapid growth in membership across the region.
Local members played a key role in spreading their faith across the region before missionaries could arrive and establish a formal presence. The way believers gathered together shaped how religious life continues to develop in this community.
The site is straightforward to explore and arranges different functional areas within a cohesive space. Visitors should allow time to understand the various rooms and facilities available here.
A concrete bridge connects the temple complex across the Ogbor River to surrounding areas and neighborhoods. This structural feature allows the community to access the site easily and helps serve the broader infrastructure needs of the area.
