Lokoja LGA

Abstract

Lokoja is a city in Nigeria. It lies at the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers and is the capital of Kogi State. While the Oworo, Bassa Nge, and Nupe are indigenous to the area, other ethnic groups of Nigeria, including the Kupa-Nupe, Hausa, Ebira, Igala, Igbo, Bini/Edo, and Tiv have recently established themselves. Projected to be the third fastest-growing African continent city between 2020 and 2025, with a 5.93% growth. It was listed as a second class township by the 1917 township ordinance of the colonial administration. This shows that Lokoja is an old city.
