Adamawa State, Administrative state in northeastern Nigeria
Mountainous landscapes with the Mandara and Shebshi ranges dominate Adamawa State, which extends across valleys intersected by the Benue and Gongola rivers.
The territory originated from the emirate of Adamawa under the Sultanate of Sokoto, later becoming a separate state in 1991 after splitting from Gongola State.
The state contains more than 100 ethnic groups, including the Fulani, Mumuye, Higi, Chamba, and Margi peoples, who maintain their traditional farming and herding practices.
The Mubi International cattle market attracts traders from across West Africa, making Adamawa State a central hub for livestock commerce in the region.
The Sukur Cultural Landscape, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999, preserves ancient iron industry remnants and traditional palace architecture.
