I live there. Though have been in Minna for the past 3 weeks. The second picture now has a flyover at that location. Lokoja has no space to lay a road that wide like in the third picture.

Bad governance is the issue with Kogi

Kogi is arguably one of the richest NorthCentral state, they have most mineral resources in aboundance.

Agriculture is also great there.

For Kogi to get things right, Solid minerals must be removed from FG Exclusive list and mining should strictly be local while tax are paid to FG, locals mine Gem stones and sell it so cheaply since they don't want FG taking over

Ajaokuta alone is enough to sustain Nigerian steel production if coal plant are permitted and Warri-Itakpe - Ajaokuta Rail is used for Cargo

On Agriculture comparative advantage for them is Rice, Yam and fish farming due to nearness to river Niger

And their best of all the best means of revenue is tourism leveraging on very lovely scenery, but to develop that they need infrastructure




.

Confirmed!

I have this before from a very reliable source.
Kogi state has the most mineral resources in Nigeria. And still counting.

undecidedThe problem with Kogi State is
that it is controlled by two of the most
wicked, fetish, hostile and unprogressive
tribes in Nigeria, which is the Igala & Ebira.


What they specialize in doing, day in
day out is usingwitchcraft and voodoo to target and disable real or imagined enemies.
The motor accident or spiritual attacks is
one of their favorite methods.


A sitting governor was victim of accident
several times & another elected governor
died on the day his electoral victory was
to be announced.❗️❗️❗️

Historically, Lokoja was the initially chosen
location for the capital of northern Nigeria,
but, oyibo changed mind because they
sensed the indigene's character. Note that
the first school in northern Nigeria was
sited there.
You are very correct expecially egbirra. God forbid bad thing.

Umuahia is more or less a rural area. It is not supposed to be a state capital. Even the government house is in a rented apartment

Lokoja too far, Lokoja too far is the one music we use to sing back in the days. And that is all I know about lokoja growing up and thinking it's faraway like after Kano and sokoto. Not until I travel to Abuja and pass through lokoja before getting to Abuja. I was like, no be lokoja wen Dem say he too far be this? Though it's been long I pass there, but true is, it's no different from other state capitals apart from the houses.

why must it be removed
get a licence and start digging instead of blaming fed


Ajaokuta alone is enough to sustain Nigerian steel production if coal plant are permitted and Warri-Itakpe - Ajaokuta Rail is used for Cargo
request for concession fand run it if e sure for una

On Agriculture comparative advantage for them is Rice, Yam and fish farming due to nearness to river Niger
is this one too on exclusive list?
abi you dont know where to buy tractor?
And their best of all the best means of revenue is tourism leveraging on very lovely scenery, but to develop that they need infrastructure

If you care to know, there are two cities in the whole world: New York City and Benin City. None of them is dirty. Both stand tall in league of cosmopolitan geographical locations.

Lokoja is a village. I slept there twice while making research on Bitcoin mining machine. Adams Kolo area and later the army barrack area. I can't stay there, it's just a retarded State without good governance. The people are wonderful, hospitable but the condition of the land is unpleasant. Let God arise for Kogi.

Lol, it's not Adams Kolo but Adankolo new layout. I once lived in Lokoja during my NYSC over a decade ago and it was a mess then. From Ganaja junction to Felele through Ibrahim Taiwo road was a dungeon filled with smelly hoods, dirty houses, putrid gutters, and suffering residents. Then it was no doubt the worst capital in Nigeria, maybe still is.

Most of their rich men have all ran away to Abuja. I think only Tunde Ogbeha built a hotel and a radio station then. The city is also very hot and humid, in some months of the year, you can't literally sleep indoors except you have your AC powered on or a strong fan blowing at highest capacity.

I told myself I won't stay a day after POP even if I were to be given a job.
