National Assembly of Nigeria
National Assembly
A green-domed assembly building in the Three Arms Zone, the landmark of Nigeria's federal political centre.
The National Assembly building stands at the foot of Aso Rock in the Three Arms Zone, next to the Presidential Villa and the Supreme Court. It has housed the Senate and the House of Representatives since 1999. Its green central dome and white façade stand out, and the large ceremonial mace sculpture at the entrance often appears in news footage. Visits to the interior generally require an application through official channels in advance, so most tourists admire the building from the outside road. The surrounding area is a high-security zone, so follow the instructions of the guards.
