The Federal Capital Territoryis the home of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. The territory was formed in 1976 from parts of former Nasarawa, Niger, and Kogi States and it is in the central region of Nigeria, bordered to the north by Kaduna State, to the east by Nassarawa State, to the south-west by Kogi State and to the west by Niger State.
The Federal Capital Territory lies between latitudes 8o 25'N and 9o 20'N and longitude 6o39'.
Phase 1 of the city is divided into five (5) districts - Central, Garki, Wuse, Maitama, and Asokoro. Phase 2 is divided into five (5) districts - Kado, Durumi, Gudu, Utako and Jabi. Phase 3 districts is divided into four (4) districts - Mabuchi, Katampe, Wuye and Gwarimpa.


[size=16pt]History[/size]

The land of Abuja was the southwestern part of the ancient kingdom of Zazzau (Zaria). The name"Abuja"was derived from Abu Ja, a brother to Muhammadu Makau, the last hausa ruler of Zaria. Makau had left Zaria after being defeated by the Fulani and settled in the area now known as Abuja. In 1825 his brother Abu Ja succeeded him as the 62nd King of Zaria.
The full name of Abu Ja was Abubakar (shortened to"Abu" ) and the name Ja was given to him because he was light in complexion ("Ja"means red or fair in Hausa). Hence he became known as"Abu-Ja","Abu the fair one"(other sources claim that the name"Ja"was derived fron the last name of his father which was"Jatau" ).
Abu Ja built a new capital for his Kingdom and named it"Abuja"after himself.
In August 1975 the then Federal Military Government under Late General Murtala Muhammed convened a panel of experts,under the Chairmanship of the Honourable Justice T.A. Aguda, to study and advise on the desirability of retaining Lagos as the Federal Capital of Nigeria.
The panel was also empowered to recommend a suitable alternative location should it determine that the Federal Capital be moved from Lagos. Abuja was not the only place considered, several areas such as Okene, Kafanchan, Markurdi, Ile, Auchi and Agege were also suggested. The panel's recommendations for the setting up of the new Federal Capital City, at Abuja(carved out of three states Niger Plateau and Kogi (formerly Kwara)), were accepted and the Federal Government then promulgatedDecree number 6 of 1976 which created the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

[size=16pt]In that case, Abuja is a Hausa/Fulani land since most part of it was part of Zaria, Kaduna state[/size]

And if Nigeria is to be divided, then we will name our country Arewa; United African Emirate(UAE)

THE STORY OF ABUJA - HISTORICAL
The present Suleja was formally known as Abuja, a sparsely populated town with a population of about 500,000 people; it was completely rural with little or no infrastructure until the enactment of Decree No. 6 of 1976.
Before the 1976 Decree, a committee ('The Aguda Panel')was commissioned to go round the country in search of a suitable location for the New Federal Capital with two major points of reference; a region that is sparsely populated and that is centrally located. And the region now known as Abuja met these requirements and hence became the recommended location for the New Federal Capital.
The acceptance of the recommendation of the committee, led to the enactment of Decree No. 6, of 1976, the Federal Capital Territory Act, and this became the blueprint for the re-location of the new Federal Capital from Lagos to Abuja.
The town originally known as Abuja was later renamed Suleja, while the name “Abuja” was reserved for the capital-to-be.
In order to realise the objective of developing Abuja, the new Capital City, into a masterpiece on the African continent, the Federal Government established the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) as the sole agency vested with the responsibility of planning, designing and developing the city.
Stop lying here. The world knows that the GWARI people owns Abuja land. If hausa/fulani wants to claim Abuja of the Abubakar of Emir of Zauzzau, that will be present day Suleja.
Present day Abuja was formerly Suleja.
Well, we in SW careless about what you do with Abuja after the disintegration of the country. That is your cup of tea with GWARIs and north central people. Mind you, Gwaris are more related to Nupe than Hausas. It is not even Hausa/Fulani, because Hausas are the slaves of the fulanis -according to well documented history. Hausa/Fulani is just for numerical advantage effect, they are both individually different ethnic groups with fulanis as the ogas.

DerideGull: Those of you clamoring that Abuja and Lagos belonged to their ethnic enclave seemed to forget there is word known as indemnity. In the case Nigeria disintegrates, the nation states that received Abuja and Lagos must agree to indemnity or face war and other diplomatic measures
