Benue State
Benue State was created on February 3, 1976. It was one of the seven new states created by the military administration headed by the late General Murtala Muhammed, which increased the number of states in the federation from twelve to nineteen.
The state derived its name from the River Benue which is the second largest river in the country and the most outstanding geographic feature in the state.At creation, the state comprised of three local governments in the Tiv-speaking areas, namely Gboko, Katsina-Ala, and Makurdi; one local government (Otukpo) in the Idoma-speaking areas and three local governments (Ankpa, Idah and Dekina) in the Igala-speaking areas, which were excised from Kwara state.
