The spectacle of the Abuja city prompts the question of why Nigeria take on a 15 year development project when a significant portion of the population lives in poverty? It was the central part of Nigeria in 1996 before it was declared the capital of Nigeria in December 12, 1991. The different sophisticated centres and buildings in Abuja makes it plays the same role memorial bridge did in Washington DC. For the different functional centres in Abuja, it is not what people thought it would become. It is being said that Abuja should have been a model city, a rarity on the continent, instead of it being the fastest growing slum in Nigeria. Abuja is an urban post colonialism city. It has infrastructures that poses it as a very modern city. The city is approximately 300 miles (480km) northeast of Lagos, the former capital (until 1991). During the 1980s the new capital city was built and developed on the grass-covered Chukuku Hills.
