Storia

Nel 1976 si decise di spostare la capitale federale da Lagos e fu scelto un territorio al centro del Paese per la nuova capitale.

La città, costruita nella sede di un preesistente piccolo insediamento urbano, fu progettata dall'architetto giapponese Kenzō Tange, la costruzione cominciò nel 1976 e, in parte, continua tuttora a fasi alterne a causa della scarsità di finanziamenti.

Abuja divenne la capitale nel 1982, ma il riconoscimento ufficiale avvenne solo nel dicembre 1991.

Un attentato terroristico condotto la notte di Natale del 2011 contro la chiesa di Santa Teresa, alla periferia della città, ha provocato 27 morti[3].

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

  • Millennium Park: progettato dall'architetto italiano Manfredi Nicoletti, è uno dei siti cittadini maggiormente frequentati durante il tempo libero, e soprattutto nei fine settimana e nelle festività.

Architetture religiose

Società

Religione

Sul panorama cittadino svetta la Moschea nazionale. La città è anche sede dell'Arcidiocesi di Abuja.

Geografia antropica

Suddivisioni amministrative

Amministrativamente è divisa in sei distretti:

  • Municipal
  • Abaji
  • Gwagwalada
  • Kuye
  • Bwari
  • Kwali

Economia

Da un punto di vista economico la città, costituita prevalentemente da edifici amministrativi, non ha attività rilevanti. Recentemente, comunque, alle porte dell'area urbana e in adiacenza della costruenda tratta ferroviaria, che collegherà la capitale con Lagos e, in un secondo tempo, proseguirà verso nord è in corso di realizzazione il comprensorio commerciale-industriale di IDU. Quest'area già vedeva la presenza di insediamenti di strutture industriali di rilevanza nazionale ed internazionale ma in forma disaggregata ed in quasi totale assenza di idonee opere infrastrutturali in grado di valorizzare ed esaltare appieno il potenziale delle realtà ivi operanti.

Infrastrutture e trasporti

Aeroporti

La città è servita dall'aeroporto Internazionale Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Ferrovie

È in costruzione una linea ferroviaria che porta a Lagos. In città ha sede la Nigerian Railway Corporation.
