Its name "Eagle Square" comes from the fact the square has an eagle shape.[1] It is directly across from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.[2] The square was constructed in 1999 to serve as the central area for seats of power in Nigeria.[3] In January 2012, the Occupy Nigeria protest took place on the square.[4]
