Neighborhood overview

A large number of housing estates have been built in the area and further are under construction. Ring Road 2, or the Lokogoma Expressway as it is often called, is a key feature of the district. Urban expansion of Abuja from its inner core has led to considerable development in the area. The Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) has affirmed commitment to improving the districts infrastructure and work is on-going. The neighborhood is a popular one with the city’s middle class, given the availability of more modestly priced housing. Due to this, the population in the neighborhood has steadily grown in recent years. The increase in population has resulted in added demand for goods and services from residents. This has resulted in the establishment of a wide variety of shops and business. As of today, Lokogoma is among the most established and busiest neighborhoods in Abuja phase 3.
