Adamawa is a state located in northeastern Nigeria. It was created in 1991 from the former Gongola State. The state is known for its diverse ethnic groups and rich cultural heritage, with the predominant communities being the Fulani, Gbiri-Nun, and Bata people. The capital city is Yola, which serves as the political and administrative center of the state.
The geography of Adamawa features a mix of highlands and lowlands, with the Adamawa Mountain range to the east. This mountainous terrain provides scenic landscapes and is rich in biodiversity. The region has several rivers, including the Benue River, which plays an essential role in the local economy through agriculture and fishing.
Economically, Adamawa is predominantly agrarian, with agriculture being the mainstay for many residents. Key crops produced in the state include sorghum, maize, millet, and yam. In addition to agriculture, livestock farming is also significant due to the presence of pastoral communities. The state is working towards improving infrastructure and access to education and healthcare for its citizens.
