So I traveled to makurdi this August and I decided to go round the city to explore its uniqueness.

Here is a link to the previous thread about my Road trip from Ilorin to Makurdi https://www.nairaland.com/7290733/road-trip-ilorin-makurdi


I visited alot notable places in Makurdi like the old river Benue bridge, IBB square, J.S Tarka foundation, Benue State Secretariat, Benue State University etc.


Here is a brief history of Makurdi


Makurdi, town, capital of Benue state, east-central Nigeria. It lies on the south bank of the Benue River. Founded about 1927 when the railroad from Port Harcourt (279 miles [449 km] south-southwest) was extended to Jos and Kaduna, Makurdi rapidly developed into a transportation and market centre. In 1976, following the division of Benue-Plateau state into two states, Makurdi was selected as the capital of Benue state.

The 0.5-mile- (0.8-km-) long combined rail and road bridge (1932) across the Benue River consolidated the town’s position as a major transit point; Makurdi is located on the main highway network and has an airport. It is now a major transshipment point for cattle from Nigeria’s northern states.

In all of these, the most beautiful place in makurdi should be their farmlands.

Honestly these people get food. Who appreciates fine environment on an empty stomach?
