Abuja became Nigeria capital 25 years ago; 12/12/1991 by President Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.

Abuja ( /əˈbuːdʒə/ )[5] is the capital city of
Nigeria. It is located in the centre of Nigeria,
within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Abuja is a planned city[6] which was built
mainly in the 1980s. It officially became
Nigeria's capital on 12 December 1991,
replacing Lagos, though the latter remains the
country's most populous city. Abuja's
geography is defined by Aso Rock , a 400-
metre (1,300 ft) monolith left by water
erosion. The Presidential Complex , National
Assembly , Supreme Court and much of the
city extend to the south of the rock. Zuma
Rock , a 792-metre (2,598 ft) monolith, lies
just north of the city on the road to Kaduna
State.
At the 2006 census, the city of Abuja had a
population of 776,298, [7] making it one of
the ten most populous cities in Nigeria.
According to the United Nations , Abuja grew
at the rate of 139.7% between 2000 and
2010, making it the fastest growing city in
the world. [8] As of 2015, the city is still
experiencing an annual growth of at least
35%, still retaining its position as the fastest-
growing city on the African continent and one
of the fastest in the world. [9] Abuja has
witnessed a huge influx of people into the
city; the growth has led to the emergence of
satellite towns such as Karu Urban Area ,
Suleja , Gwagwalada, Lugbe, Kuje and smaller
settlements to which the planned city is
sprawling. The unofficial metropolitan area of
Abuja has a population of well over three
million and comprises the fourth largest
metropolitan area in Nigeria, surpassed only
by Lagos, Kano and Ibadan .

My questions are
What is the contributions of Abuja to this country's economy
Why did the federal government use money earned from our resources to develop abuja
Why didn't they use the proceeds from groundnut hides and skin to develop abuja
Why is fct allocation higher than nddc and niger delta ministry's allocation
