The construction cost of the Millennium tower is over N50 billion.

“The Millennium Tower component which symbolises the unity and strength of the Nigerian state is a 170 metre structure in height, and stands on three concrete cylinders that carry a revolving Panoramic Restaurant and Belvedere (Viewing Platform) at 110 metres above the ground. It shall dominate the skyline of Abuja and the rays of its powerful laser spot lights are designed to be seen more than 50 kilometres from the city centre. This simply means that the Tower can be spotted at night from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport thus making it possible to locate the city centre from there and even beyond.

“When completed, it will have a giant steel flower veil, rising from the ground, and carrying an illuminated symbol of Nigeria's Coat of Arms. The basement of the Millennium Tower also houses such facilities entrance foyer, shops, restaurant among others.”
