The administrative unit that was separated from the protectorate of northern Nigeria at the start of the 20th century is what remains of Benue State today. Until 1918, the region was known as Munshi Province; then, the name of its most prominent physical feature, the “Benue River,” was chosen.
In 1976, Igala and a portion of Kwara State, together with the previous Benue-Plateau State, were combined to form Benue State, which bears the name of the Benue River. In 1991, portions of Kwara State and some of Benue State (primarily the Igala-speaking region) were divided off to form the new Kogi State. The Igbo people live in the bordering local government areas like as Obi, Oju, etc. North of the Niger River, it is known as the “Heartbeat of the Middle Belt” and the “Entertainment Capital of the Middle Belt.” The traditional and administrative center of the Idoma people, Otukpo, is also known as the Lion’s Heart and the Land of the Brave.
