Abuja is widely known as the capital of Nigeria and one of the wealthiest urban areas in Africa.
The city rose to national prominence when there was a need to shift the status of the capital city from Lagos.
In 1979, the Nigerian government approved a master plan for Abuja to be developed in five phases.
This master plan was created by urban city planners and would coordinate the developmental efforts of the city.
The development phases of Abuja — numbered from Phase 1 to Phase 5 — cover a total of 1,000 sq km and contain various districts for residential, governmental, or commercial purposes. Each of these districts also contains several neighborhoods.
Let’s take a look at Abuja Phase 3 and what exactly the area entails.
