The new capital of Nigeria, Abuja, was named after the Abuja region, which is situated in the center of Nigeria. The name "Abuja" itself is derived from the local Fulani word for the area, reflecting its historical and cultural significance. The city was officially designated as the capital in 1991, replacing Lagos to promote a more centrally located administrative hub.
