Picture Of One Of The Most Expensive Buildings In Abuja

Don't Be Mistaken.. This House Is Located At Maitama District Abuja, Which Is Known To Be The Playground Of Wealthy And Affluent Individuals.

Among several jaw-dropping edifices in
Abuja, the very popular exotic-looking
building on Gana street, adjacent to the
Transcorp Hilton Hotel stands out like a
castle on the hill.

According to a number of taxi drivers in
Abuja, it is very difficult to drive a
passenger past the building without
hearing, “wow what sort of mighty house
is this?” …”Who owns this expensive
building?”…”What is this building meant
for?” And the questions go on and on.
Without a doubt, there could be more
expensive buildings in the city, but the
strategic location of this one, how
monumental it looks, and the lack of
clear details about its use makes it even
more interesting.

Some Say The House Belongs To The Pope Which We All Know Is Certainly Untrue, Others Say It Belongs To Okocha,Atiku, etc

After Proper Scrutiny, It was Discovered that The House Belongs To One Aliyu Abubakar , Chairman Of AA Oil

According to the chairman of AA Oil
Limited, he said he acquired the plot of
land where the structure is erected in
2005 from an indigene of Zamfara State
at a cost of N1 billion.
The interview further revealed that Aliyu,
who trained as a building technologist
before venturing into oil business, said
that he financed the building from his
personal savings, as he did not obtain
any mortgage from any bank.
“This building belongs to me. I bought
the land occupying this building around
2005 from one man from Zamfara State.
I bought it for N1billion because of the
location. Thereafter, a thought came to
me. By the way, I am a builder. I
specialise in building houses of model
quality. Any house I build is usually very
special.”
“The whole idea about that is just for
everyone to know that it is very possible
to replicate the type of things we see
overseas in Nigeria. So, I resolved that
since I had the opportunity of acquiring
this land, I would put up a structure that
would be equal to none in the entire city
and maybe the country.” He said.
Without doubt, the building has generated
a lot of interest and has remained
popular among enthusiasts in the city of
Abuja.
If the purchase of land could be worth as
much as a billion naira, one could only
imagine how much it would cost to put
up such a magnificent edifice on it.
Certainly millions of dollars.
With the level of security surrounding the
building, and a gate manned by stern-
looking security personnel, it was
impossible to
gain access into the building. But a
number of people spoken to revealed
that Aliyu Abubakar does come around,
although it is unclear if the building is
entirely a private residence or whether
some offices occupy some spaces within.
