I think Niger and maybe some part of, Plateau Kogi state did not exist then. Neither did Nassarawa.This takes me back though. I remember Gongola state and of course Bendel state and her Bendelites. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Abuja was carved out of Niger State I think, Nasarawa was created by Late. Sanni Abacha in 1996 while Kogi was created in 1991. It can't be Kogi & Nasarawa. 20 Likes |
