The Millennium Tower and Cultural Centre project is one of a number of projects in the Central District of Nigeria's capital city of Abuja.
At 170 metres (560 ft), it is the tallest artificial structure in Abuja.
The tower was designed by Manfredi Nicoletti and is part of the Nigeria National Complex which also includes the Nigerian Cultural Centre, an eight-storey, low rise, pyramid shaped Cultural Centre.
[3][4] The site is served by a main road, so the two structures will be linked via an underground arcade.
The tower consists of three cylindrical concrete pillar-like structures varying in height and linked together near the tower's first peak using a disc-shaped section that is intended to house in its two floors an observation deck and a viewing restaurant.
