ABOUT ASO ROCK  ITSELF.

ASO ROCK

                       



Aso Rock is a large outcrop that is on the outskirts of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. The Aso Rock is a 400-metre monolith and is the city's most noticeable feature. The Nigerian Presidential Complex, Nigerian National Assembly, and Nigerian Supreme Court are located around it. Much of the town extends to the south of the rock. "Aso" means victorious in the native language of the (now displaced) Asokoro ("the people of victory").
Aso Rock was the site of the 2003 Aso Rock Declaration, issued by Heads of Government of the Commonwealth during the CHOGM held in Abuja. It reaffirmed the Commonwealth's principles as detailed under the Harare Declaration, but set the 'promotion of democracy and development' as the organisation's priorities.

Sorry we are not providing real pictures of inside Aso-Villa. The reason is the Federal Government doesn't permit guests for Tourism visits like other counties we could have visit and get some real captures from inside the villa, so the pictures you'll be seeing are the ones captured of the president and federal officials inside Aso Villa.
