The Millennium Tower and Cultural Centre ABUJA NIGERIA

The Millennium Tower and Cultural Centre project is one of the many projects in the Central District of Nigeria's capital city of Abuja.

At 170 metres (560 ft), the tower would be the tallest structure in Nigeria.

The tower was designed by Manfredi Nicoletti and is part of the Nigeria National Complex which includes the Nigeria Cultural Centre and Municipal Building.Construction started in 2006.

The 170 metre tower will be Nigeria's tallest structure when completed along with an eight storeys, low rise, pyramid shaped Cultural Centre.

Located in Abuja, the site is severed 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 towers first peak using a disc shaped section which will house in its two floors, an observation decks and a restaurant where visitors will be able to enjoy spectacular views of the city below while they eat. Around the pillars of the tower three transparent stainless steel wings wrap delicately but protectively around the base of the tower and gradually open outwards in a fan like fashion as they extend up the height of the tower.
