Suleja

Suleja is a city in Niger State, Nigeria, just north of Abuja, capital of the country. It is sometimes confused with the nearby city of Abuja, due to its proximity and the fact that it was originally named Abuja before the Nigerian government adopted the name from the then Emir Sulayman Bal for its new federal capital in 1976.
