Kebbi State, State administrative region in northwestern Nigeria.
Kebbi State stretches across 36,800 square kilometers of savanna lands, with rivers Niger and Sokoto flowing through fertile agricultural territories and grasslands.
The territory evolved from the former Kebbi Kingdom until 1991, when it separated from Sokoto State to become an independent administrative region of Nigeria.
The population includes Hausa, Fulani, and Zarma communities, each maintaining their traditional practices while contributing to the regional agricultural development.
The road network connects twenty-one local government areas, with Birnin Kebbi serving as the capital and main transportation center for regional commerce.
The state contains half of Lake Kainji, formed by the Kainji Dam on the Niger River, supporting extensive fishing activities and agricultural irrigation systems.
