Makurdi is the capital of Benue State in Nigeria. The city is located in central Nigeria and was the base for the Nigerian Air Force's MiG 21 and SEPECAT Jaguar aircraft squadrons. As of 2007 Makurdi had an estimated population of 500,797.
Makurdi is located on the banks of Benue River, a major tributary of the Niger River. It is also located on the main narrow gauge railway line running north from Port Harcourt, although this is not currently working. There are regular bus services linking Makurdi to neighbouring towns.
Until a bridge was built in 1932, a train ferry was used to cross the Benue river. Ina jaki na? Mu chi.
