Kaduna

Course

The kaduna river starts from flowing northwest at its source in Plateau State on the Jos Plateau 29 kilometres (18 mi) southwest of Jos town. It then flows into Kaduna State (which was named after the river) where it changes its flow-course into a southwesterly direction and cutting through its capital city of Kaduna which it divides into a northern and a southern section. The river continues into Niger State (which was named after the Niger river), shortly after which it is dammed, first at Shiroro, and then again at Zungeru, producing two fairly large reservoir lakes before making a sharp southern turn then flowing south to meet the Niger River at the confluence south of Bida.
