where do the rivers benue and niger meet?
nigeria
the neighbouring volta–niger branch of nigeria and benin is sometimes called "west benue–congo", but it does not form a united branch with benue–congo. when benue–congo was first proposed by joseph greenberg (1963), it included volta–niger (as west benue–congo); the boundary between volta–niger and kwa has been repeatedly debated. blench (2012) states that if benue–congo is taken to be "the noun-class languages east and north of the niger", it is likely to be a valid group, though no demonstration of this has been made in print.the branches of the benue–congo family are thought to be as follows:





























bullet::::- bantoid–cross languages
benue–congo languages
the rivers benue and katsina-ala only need to be dredged and a modern river port built at makurdi, turan, buruku and katsina-ala to transport goods all over the nation since the state is at the middle of the country. ships are sighted very occasionally offloading cargo for benue company at the abinsi jetty.





























the eastern rail line connects makurdi, otukpo, taraku, utonkon and lgumale with the rest of the country. altogether, about 180 km of rail line traverses the state.
