Abuja

Abuja is the federal capital of Nigeria, purpose-built as a neutral political center and inaugurated in 1991. It houses all three branches of the Nigerian government, major regulatory bodies, and the headquarters of the African Development Bank’s country office.

Abuja is closely watched in African business media for federal budget decisions, oil revenue policy, monetary regulation from the Central Bank of Nigeria, and diplomatic developments that shape Nigeria’s economic relationships across the continent and globally.
