Kubwa is an affordable suburb that occupies a strategic location in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria (FCT). It is located to the north-west of the Federal Capital City (FCC), Abuja.
The Kubwa neighborhood is administered by the Bwari Area Council (BAC), one of the six area councils in the FCT.
The increasing population of the district has created demand for more goods and services. A mixture of banks, shops, markets, and schools contribute to the neighborhood’s daily commercial, educational, and social activities. As a result, the district can be said to have more of an independent economy than the actual FCC-Abuja.
Places of interest include the National Youth Service Camp, Movida Lounge, and Pizza Place.
Kubwa is near Dawaki, Gwarinpa, and Katampe to the east. Karsana sits to the south.
Its position just on the outskirts of the FCC makes it a popular middle-class neighborhood, as the transport links to the Central Business District are good.
The main road near the neighborhood is the Murtala Mohammed Expressway, which links to the Abuja-Kaduna Highway in one direction and inner city areas in the other. There is a train station in the area on the Abuja-Kaduna rail line.
The Kubwa neighborhood is perfect for many. Far enough from Abuja’s central area to be inexpensive yet close enough to get you there in around 15 minutes.
Kubwa enjoys decent infrastructure, like water and electricity. The district is also a focus area for governmental initiatives. Federal Housing Authority estates have been built in this district to cater to lower- to middle-class earners in Abuja.
Like the Lugbe district, Kubwa has seen a hive of real estate activity in recent times as private housing estates have sprung up all over the district.
