Bassa Towns And Villages
Bassa is a Local Government Area in Kogi State, Nigeria, bordered by the Benue River to the north and the Niger River to the west. Its headquarters is Oguma. A separate Bassa LGA exists in Plateau State; this profile covers Bassa (Kogi State) only.
The 2006 census counted 139,687 residents. Projections put the 2022 figure near 188,300. The LGA covers about 1,925 square kilometres across ten wards: Akuba I, Akuba II, Ayede/Akakana, Eforo, Gboloko, Ikende, Mozum, Ozongulo/Kpanche, Ozugbe and Kpata.
The Bassa-nge people farm along the Niger-Benue confluence area; Gboloko, Ajigido, Kpata and Ecewu are its best-known towns.
