When the new city was established, the emirate and its capital were renamed the Suleja Emirate and Suleja.
The emirate covers about 1,150 square miles (2,980 square km) of wooded savanna area.[1]Suleja Emirate, Kontagora Emirate, Borgu Emirate, Agaie Emirate and Kagara Emirate were the major Emirates in Niger state.
