History of Jebba City

Jebba is a city in Kwara State, Nigeria.It has incredibly beautiful views of the River Niger and as of 2007 had an estimated population of 22,411.

The town has the benefit of being split into North and South Jebba. South Jebba falling in Kwara State and North in Niger State. It is home to the largest papermill in West Africa, as well as being the proud of home of one of Nigeria’s, three Hydro Electric Damns.

Powering the whole of Nigeria, every day. It has also a monument to Mungo Park, in remembrance of the shipwreck which took place there, while he tried to trace the source of the Niger.

More recently it has taken in 16 new residents in the form of volunteers from Nigeria and the UK. Jebba’s main quality is its mix of Christian and Islamic culture.

Transportation in jebba

Jebba has one main road running through it connecting the North and the South of Nigeria. The train station has a functioning yet in frequent service. The railway station is also home to one of the Mango Park Monuments. The town has a large number of motorbike-taxis.

Hydro Electric Dam in Jebba

Owned and operated the P.H.C.N, it is one only three purpose built damns in Nigeria. It supplies huge amounts of energy to the Nigerian grid as well as giving Jebba twenty-four-hour power. The dam is a beautiful testament to Nigerian productivity with an excellent management team.

They actively support community projects and the town's development. The dam operates with six generators, using the great power of the Niger River to generate enormous amounts of electricity. The artificial lake created by the dam is a gorgeous sight to behold. If you’re ever lucky enough to be invited along for a tour, grab the opportunity with both hands. The site is interesting and a day well spent.

Paper Mill in Jebba

Built and originally owned by Nigerians, the Paper Mill is the largest in West Africa. Sadly due to mismanagement and lack of investment the Paper Mill closed.

It was recently taken over by an Indian Business man and began to function again. Once a provider for so many in the town, which, upon its closer left people jobless and lost. Now as it begins to turn the cogs again, it has hired few local workers but is finally being properly managed.

In its glory days the Paper Mill employed a huge population of the town to function its huge production line.

Tourist sites in Jebba City

General

Jebba is one of the crossing points over the river Niger. It is where the A1 main road and the railway to the north cross the river. Jebba has an important railway station and is of historical importance.

Tourist sites

a. The remains of Baikie’s boat, the ‘Dayspring’. Baikie was sent to Africa to set up trading stations on the Niger his boat, unfortunately foundered on some hidden rocks at jebba on October 7th, 1857. The only remaining relics of the boat are metal items, including the propeller, so it is of limited interest. They are at the railway station besides an old steam engines which would be of interest to children and railway buffs.

b. The Mungo Park and Lander monument, a white obelisk, is on the island in the middle of the river which is spanned by the bridges. To reach it, drive off the northbound bridge to to the right by the police station, turn underneath the bridge to the left and park. Follow the path on foot across the railway line and up to the monument, where you will get a spectacular view. For further reading on Mungo park, Lander and Baikie, see The Story of the Niger – The Strong Brown God by Sanche de Gramont.

c. The Jebba Hydro-electro Dam – on the River Niger, north of jebba. You can see it from the bridge, but it may be possible to visit it, with permission from the NEPA.

d. Juju Rock. This is an outstanding rocky island in the River Niger which can also be clearly seen from the bridge. It is here that some extraordinary Nupe bronze figures, dating from the 15th century, were discovered. The nine Toesede bronzes, from here and from the village of Tada, are the largest cast bronzes ever found in Africa, and six are now in the National museum, Lagos. They have clear affinities with early Ife and Benin bronze-work.

The City i Grow up.

Long live Jebba

When sanusi was kicked out of peaceful Kano, I wander why he didn't choose to live in agopeaceful Zamfara or Borno, instead, he choose to live in Lagos filled with insecurity issues caused by Agberos.

Agberos go enter communities in Lagos and start killing unnecessarily, few days ago, Agberos in Lagos fired rocket at Muritala Mohammed international airport
