[edit] History

Described by some visitors as an "elegant fortress", Aso Villa remains an enigma to most Nigerians. The palatial residence was completed in 1991, the same year the military junta of Ibrahim Babangida relocated the Federal Capital, from Lagos State to Abuja. Aso Villa encompasses the 400 meter monolith Aso Rock, at the very heart of Abuja city.
