Each Phase is separated from the other by an expressway (some still under construction); for example, Phases 1 and 2 are separated from each other by the Nnamdi Azikiwe expressway, while the entirety of the city proper (Phases 1–5) are enclosed by the Murtala Muhammed (Outer Northern-ONEX and Outer Southern-OSEX) expressways as well as the Federal A2 highway which traverses the Federal Capital Territory on its way to Kaduna (north-bound) and Lokoja (south-bound). Thus, there is an integration of the city's road network with the Federal highway network, providing access to the immediate outlying countryside and the surrounding states of the country i.e. Niger State to the west, Kaduna State to the north, Nasarawa State to the east and Kogi State to the south. The Phase 1 area of the city is divided into ten districts known as [[cadastre|cadastral]] zones.<ref name="abuja-ng.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.abuja-ng.com/contactus.html|title=Contact Us|access-date=25 May 2015}}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=May 2018}} * [[Central District, Abuja|Central Cadastral Zone A00]] * [[Garki I District Cadastral Zone A01]] * [[Wuse 1 District Cadastral Zone A02]] * [[Garki II District Cadastral Zone A03]] * [[Asokoro District, Abuja|Asokoro Cadastral Zone A04]] * [[Maitama District Cadastral Zone A05 & A06]] * [[Wuse II Districts (Cadastral Zone A07 & Cadastral Zone A08)]] * [[Guzape District Cadastral Zone A09]] * [[Maitama II District Cadastral Zone A10]] There are also sixteen districts in Phase 2.<ref name="abuja-ng.com" />{{Failed verification|date=May 2018}} * [[Kukwuaba District, Abuja|Kukwuaba Cadastral Zone B00]] * [[Gudu District, Abuja|Gudu Cadastral Zone B01]] *[[Durumi District, Abuja|Durumi Cadastral Zone B02]] * [[Wuye District, Abuja|Wuye Cadastral Zone B03]] * [[Jabi District, Abuja|Jabi Cadastral Zone B04]] * [[Utako District, Abuja|Utako Cadastral Zone B05]] * [[Mabuchi District, Abuja|Mabuchi Cadastral Zone B06]] * [[Jahi District, Abuja|Jahi Cadastral Zone B08]] * [[Kado District, Abuja|Kado Cadastral Zone B09]] * [[Dakibiyu District, Abuja|Dakibiyu Cadastral Zone B10]] * [[Kaura District, Abuja|Kaura Cadastral Zone B11]] * [[Duboyi District, Abuja|Duboyi Cadastral Zone B12]] * [[Gaduwa District, Abuja|Gaduwa Cadastral Zone B13]] * [[Dutse District, Abuja|Dutse Cadastral Zone B14]] * [[Katampe Ext District, Abuja|Katampe Ext Cadastral Zone B19]] There are eleven districts in Phase 3.<ref name="abuja-ng.com" />{{Failed verification|date=May 2018}} * [[Institution and Research District, Abuja|Institution and Research Cadastral Zone C00]] * [[Karmo District, Abuja|Karmo Cadastral Zone C01]] * [[Gwarimpa District, Abuja|Gwarimpa Cadastral Zone C02]] * [[Dape District, Abuja|Dape Cadastral Zone C04]] * [[Kafe District, Abuja|Kafe Cadastral Zone C05]] * [[Nbora District, Abuja|Nbora Cadastral Zone C06]] * [[Galadimawa District, Abuja|Galadimawa Cadastral Zone C07]] * [[Dakwo District, Abuja|Dakwo Cadastral Zone C08]] * [[Lokogoma District, Abuja|Lokogoma Cadastral Zone C09]] * [[Wumba District, Abuja|Wumba Cadastral Zone C10]] * [[Idu Industrial District, Abuja|Idu Industrial Cadastral Zone C16]] There are five suburban districts: [[Nyanya Suburban District, Abuja|Nyanya]], [[Karu Suburban District, Abuja|Karu]], [[Gwagwalada Suburban District, Abuja|Gwagwalada]], [[Kubwa, Abuja|Kubwa]], and [[Jukwoyi Suburban Disrict|Jukwoyi]].
