The history of the FCT, home to diverse ethnic groups such as the Gbagyi, Koro, Gade, Bassa, and others, predates the creation of Abuja in 1976. The relocation of Nigeria's capital to Abuja brought about significant challenges for these indigenous communities, including land displacement, loss of traditional livelihoods, and cultural upheaval. The study aims to explore these issues, focusing on the geographical location, socio-cultural dynamics, the rationale for capital relocation, and the cultural implications of displacement. The significance of this research lies in its potential to inform policymakers about the socio-economic and cultural impacts of urban development on Indigenous communities, guiding more equitable urban planning. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving literature review, interviews with affected residents, and archival research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues. Key findings reveal that the relocation led to significant socio-economic disruption, loss of ancestral lands, inadequate compensation, and a struggle to preserve cultural heritage amidst rapid urbanization. Despite these challenges, the development of Abuja has also provided opportunities for economic growth and improved access to services. The study concludes that while the establishment of Abuja as Nigeria's capital brought about necessary administrative and infrastructural advancements, it also necessitates a commitment to addressing the rights and needs of indigenous populations to foster inclusive and sustainable urban development....Preview Download Preview +Other History and International Studies project topics and materials you might be interested in»A precolonial history of Ngbo people»The significance of law enforcement agencies on crime management in Nigeria - the Nigeria Police Force, Kogi state chapter»Evolution and development of electoral agencies in Nigeria: a case study of INEC in Kano state, 1998-2015»A history of muslim-christian activities in Fagge local government area»Missionary enterprise and the development of Ikwo economy - an appraisal of the Norwegian Church Agriculture Project (NORCAP)»A history of Hausa marriage ceremony and its transformation in Kano»The impact of Nyanya market to the development of Abuja municipal council from 1999 till date»Aspects of Ikwo colonial history from 1900 to 1960»Festival as unifying factor among Bida people - a case study of Bariki festival in 21st century»A history of western education in Minna town, 1976 - 2015»Groundnut oil production and processing in Lokoja, Kogi state - The role of women 1960 - 2000»Contemporary relations between the Tangale Kingdom and Gombe Emirate from 1960 to 2021»Investigation into the causes and effects of the Ethiopia and Eritrea war»The historical development of western education in Lemu community via Gbako lga in Niger State»Impact of poverty in Minna metropolis from 2000 - 2019
