About this place
Suleja is a city in Niger State, north of Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory. Its proximity to the capital makes it an accessible stop for travelers exploring north-central Nigeria.
Founded in the early 19th century by Mohammed Makau, the last Hausa emir of Zaria, Suleja was established by those fleeing the Fulani conquest of northern Nigeria. This history gives the city a distinct cultural identity linked to the Hausa states.
