Abuja is masterfully planned.

Whichever perspective you want to look at it, the relocation of Nigerian Seat of Government to Abuja is justified.

Imagine Lagos, with all its chaos and gridlocks, was still the Federal Capital Territory…

It’s just better imagined undecided

Neighborhood overview

The Asokoro area is an attractive, highly developed phase 1 district in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja. It is an exclusive, upper class neighborhood that houses many important local and international institutions.
Embassies and state house lodges are scattered all around the neighborhood. Nigeria’s Presidential complex known as “Aso Villa” and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Secretariat are both found in the district.

Other places of interest include Glamour Lounge and the National Children’s Park & Zoo.

Many of Nigeria’s high net worth individuals live in Asokoro including business magnets,
celebrities and top government officials. Despite being a primarily residential district there is selected commercial activity.
The neighborhood hosts several high-class shops and restaurants. A number of Abuja’s best hotels are also sited in the area. The district has often been described as Nigeria’s most desirable place to live in.

Getting around

Asokoro nears Abuja Central Area to the north west, Guzape to the south and Garki to the west. Major roads include Murtala Mohammed Expressway, Yakubu Gowon Crescent, Shehu Shagari Way and Ahmadu Bello Way.

Land and houses in Asokoro

The Asokoro neighborhood has excellent infrastructure. The area is very peaceful and boasts some of the nicest views of Abuja city. Easy access too many of Abuja’s important landmarks makes it a prime location. The area is one of the safest parts of Nigeria.
The district is an extremely popular place to stay for those with deeper pockets. Being an affluent district land and houses in Asokoro, like its neighbor Maitama, are among the most expensive in Abuja.

Depending on the purpose, location and size: plots of land can go for well over 1 billion naira. Homes in Asokoro are some of the most exquisite in the whole country.

Come see my village.

If we have real estate firms in Nigeria who can build those beautiful giant structures we see in highbrow areas in the country, i wonder what is stopping them from reciprocating the same development model across the country? This can create millions of jobs for youth graduates if we can find a way to build cheaper and smarter homes for common people in the country. This is the difference between London, Paris, USA, Hong Kong and developing worlds like Nigeria. Those advanced countries make their development spread across the country, while same is limited in certain areas in Nigeria and Africa at large.

Are you new in Abuja or what? Asokoro being the best precinct in the city. Granted it's one of the areas that the real old money folks of the city has properties and all, but the game has since shifted to other parts within the city. Wuse 2, Jabi, Guzape and their neighborhood (katampe, Wuye, etc)

Nothing special. Typical third world country city.

Mariupol or Donbass is still finer. You simply can't take it away from Europeans when it comes to cities. It's not by planting trees and marking road lanes. Europe's third grade cities are better than the best of what we have here.

You can't even compare Abuja with my university town of Aberdeen

Come on shut your nasty lips, you slaveboy.

You think it is only you that has been to Europe?

EVEN PARTS OF LONDON are far worse than ABUJA, talk less of your wretched, ancient town of Aberdeen.

And Donbass is a region not a city, you dunce. While Mariupul is a nothing, decrepit city incomparable to Abuja.

Stupid peabrain drowning in inferiority complex and colonial mentality.

Apart from Capetown and north African capitals,there is no where else on the continent as beautiful as Abuja.

Nigeria is poorly governed but truth has to be said.

They wasted our resources lavishly on Abuja.

Stop hallucinating
Abuja is not even close to many African cities in terms of beauty and infrastructure.
Abuja is just like Owerri, with no portable(PB) water. Abuja has better roads than owerri, but owerri has no slum areas like Abuja grin

Moro.n, who told you Abuja has no potable water? You clearly have never been there in your wretched life to be comparing it to Owerri.

Plus Abuja has no ''slum areas'', you ignorant peabrain.

As far back as 2010, I saw a house in asokoro they said was going for 999,000,000. So it must be some pretty hot stuff to be commanding prices like that.

This OP is funny, you are telling us about how Asokoro is beautiful and you ended up showing us pictures of roads with flowers.

These days people prefer to live in Maitama, Jabi and Gwarimpa than that Asokoro. Personally, I think Abuja Central Area should be given that credit.
When you visit NNPC tower, CBN, Transcorp, ShopRite, Silverbird, those ministries buildings, you will know that Asokoro is becoming old.

Is it another Asokoro or the one I know?

Everything the OP described about Asokoro is confirmed truth....Apart from Maitama, where in Abuja will you compare with Asokoro...Don't even say Guzape because it's an Extension of Asokoro.....Pls don't say Wuse, it's home to prostitutes, junkies and phone snatchers....if you say Jahi I will still not agree with you because Jahi is still developing..

Central Area is a business district, strictly for business,you find very few people residing in Central Area....in Abuja it's first Maitama, Asokoro is second....
