The community is a countryside settlement expanding on the urban fringe of Abuja.[1] The area is site to a [Voice of Nigeria](/source/Voice_of_Nigeria) Transmission Station (VNT), [FHA Estate](/source/FHA_Estate) and the [National Space Development and Research Agency](/source/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](/source/National_Emergency_Management_Agency_(Nigeria)) 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]
