Nigeria's Capital, Abuja: An African Political Center Blending Tradition and Modernity
Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, is located on the banks of the Gurara River, a tributary of the Niger River in the center of the country, and officially replaced Lagos as the capital in 1991, with the aim of promoting a balanced development of the country. As the political heart of Nigeria, it is home to a concentration of federal government agencies, foreign embassies and the headquarters of international organizations such as the African Union Commission. The city is modern and well-planned, with Aso Rock, a landmark peak overlooking the city, and cultural landmarks such as the National Mosque and the National Arts Theater of Nigeria dotted around the area. Economically, Abuja is an important administrative, economic and cultural hub for Nigeria, with its predominantly service, financial and diplomatic sectors, and its multi-ethnic population creating a unique blend of cultures.
