Abuja
Abuja is the
capital city of
Nigeria. It is located in the centre of Nigeria in the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Abuja is a
"planned" city, as it was mainly built in the 1980s and officially became Nigeria's capital on
12 December 1991. The population is estimated at 405,000.Abuja's geography is defined by
Aso Rock, a 400-metre monolith left by water erosion. The
Presidential Complex,
National Assembly,
Supreme Court and much of the town extend to the south of the rock. "Aso" means "victorious" in the language of the (now displaced) Asokoro ("the people of victory").Other sights include the
Nigerian National Mosque and the
Nigerian National Christian Centre. The city is served by the
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, while
Zuma Rock lies nearby. Abuja is known for being the best purpose built city in Africa as well as being one of the wealthiest and most expensive, however, the population on the semi-developed edges of the city are living in shanty towns such as Karu. Karu, built to house the capital's civil servants and lower income families, has no running water, sanitation or electricity.

Abuja ist seit dem 12. Dezember 1991 die
Hauptstadt von
Nigeria in
Westafrika. Sie hat derzeit über 1,5 Millionen Einwohner.Bereits im Jahr 1976 fasste die nigerianische Regierung den Beschluss, die Hauptstadt von
Lagos an der Küste in das Zentrum des Landes zu verlagern und begann die
Planstadt auf dem
Reißbrett zu erschaffen. Der japanische
Stadtplaner Kenzo Tange konzipierte die
Planhauptstadt. Erbaut wurde die Stadt durch Baufirmen aus Frankreich, Deutschland, Niederlande, Italien und anderen. Finanzielle Probleme sowie der schleppende Fortschritt der Bauarbeiten verzögerten den raschen Umzug der Regierung.
