Lugbe is located under the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) in the Federal Capital Territory, and it sits to the southwest of Abuja’s city centre as one of the more affordable and rapidly developing districts. The need for structured housing expansion led to its inclusion in Phase 5 of the Federal Capital City, transforming it into a major residential hub.

The presence of modern facilities like Novare Gateway Mall has further positioned the area as a growing destination for shopping and leisure. It is also home to key national institutions such as the Voice of Nigeria Transmission Station (VON), the Nigerian Biotechnology Agency (NABDA), and the National Space Research and Development Agency (NARSDA), which add to its strategic importance.

Lugbe gets its name from the Gbagyi language, where “Lugbe” means “bird.” According to local history, a hunter from Ijah in Niger State discovered the area during a hunting trip and found it filled with birds as no other animals was majorly found in the tick forest. Lugbe meaning a place of birds
