Abuja is the capital and eighth-most populous city of Nigeria. Located in the centre of the country within the Federal Capital Territory, it is a planned city built mainly in the 1980s based on a master plan by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange. 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. The name Abuja is coined out of the Hausa language and it was derived from the name Abubakar-Ja which is derived from the name of a person called Mallam Abubakar JA and the name “Abubakar” is an Islamic name while the word “Ja” is referring to a red color in the Hausa Language; so Abubakar-Ja is literally translated as “Abubakar the Red” or “the Red Abubakar”, but its meaning is referring to one (Mallam/Mr./Alhaji) Abubakar who was Fair in Complexion in terms of his skin appearance and who was one of the settlers in the modern day Abuja long ago even before Nigeria was amalgamated in 1914.
