Lugbe, Abuja is a residential district and town in Abuja. The town covers approximately 50 km2 The community is a countryside settlement expanding on the urban fringe of Abuja.[1] The area is site to a Voice of Nigeria Transmission Station (VNT), FHA Estate and the National Space Development and Research Agency.[1]

A major flood on the Trademoore Estates in Lugbe, solicited national attention because it killed the residents and destroyed the newly built community.[2] The National Emergency Management Agency described the destruction as due to violation of building codes for floodplains.[3] The district had previously seen illegal buildings torn down by the regional government.[4] More generally, a study using sampling from 2015 found that Unplanned land use has also led to waste water and other contamination runoff into water bodies, creating potential public health risks.[5]

A 2019 study found that household waste burning in the district was found to have respiratory effects on local residents.[1]
