state in Nigeria
About Kogi State
The state is bisected by the Niger River, which flows southward; the Benue River, a significant tributary of the Niger, forms part of the state's northeastern boundary. East of the Niger, the Igala people are the dominant ethnic group, whereas west of the river, the Igbira and Yoruba inhabit. Agriculture is the economy's backbone. Yams, cassava (manioc), rice, sorghum, beans, corn (maize), and cotton are among the most important crops. Geographically, the state is within the tropical Guinean forest–savanna mosaic ecoregion. Important geographic features include the key rivers with the Niger flowing from the northwest and the Benue coming from the northeast before the two rivers meet in Kogi's centre and bisect the state southward.
