Aso Rock

Aso Rock is the large outcrop that is in the outskirts of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. The Aso Rock is a 400 metre monolith left by water erosion and is the city's most noticeable feature. The Nigerian Presidential Complex, Nigerian National Assembly, Nigerian Supreme Court and much of the town extend to the south of the rock. "Aso" means victorious in the language of the (now displaced) Asokoro (the people of victory).
