Gboko, Local government area in Benue State, Nigeria.
Gboko extends across 2,264 square kilometers of land in the North-central region of Nigeria, featuring markets, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities.
The establishment of Gboko as a local government area occurred on May 11, 1970, leading to significant administrative developments in Benue State.
The palace of Tor Tiv, the supreme traditional leader of the Tiv people, stands at the center of Gboko, marking its status as their ancestral headquarters.
The area contains mineral resources including limestone, granite, and barite, while agriculture produces rice, yams, maize, and cassava for local consumption.
The defunct BCC Lions Football Club from Gboko secured victory in the African Cup Winners' Cup in 1990 at the J.S Tarkar Stadium.
