Federal Capital Territory

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is the political and administrative heart of Nigeria, hosting the capital city, Abuja. Established in 1991 to replace Lagos as the capital, the FCT was carefully planned for optimal urban development. With its well-ordered infrastructure, green spaces, and iconic landmarks, it offers a contrast to the hustle and bustle of other Nigerian cities. One of the central attractions in the FCT is the magnificent Aso Rock, a natural rock formation that looms over the city and serves as a national symbol. Visitors can also explore the Nigerian National Mosque and the Nigerian National Christian Centre, which represent the country's two largest religions. Abuja is also home to the Nigerian National Mosque, an architectural marvel not just for worshipers but also for architecture buffs. The territory boasts a burgeoning art and culture scene. Art lovers can visit the National Arts Theatre or the Nigerian National Museum for insightful exhibits and collections. The vibrant social scene includes a variety of international restaurants, chic cafes, and a lively nightlife, adding layers to the multicultural tapestry that defines the FCT.
