Bida, Administrative center in Niger State, Nigeria

Located at the intersection of major roads from Jebba, Zungeru, and Agaie, Bida extends across 51 square kilometers of Niger State terrain.

The territory transformed from a small Beni settlement into the capital of the Nupe emirate following Emir Usman Zaki's victory in the civil war of 1847-1856.

The Niger State Polytechnic Bida campus provides educational programs in administrative and business studies, serving students from different regions of Nigeria.

The central market functions as a distribution hub for agricultural products, including swamp rice from the Niger and Kaduna river floodplains.

Local artisans maintain specialized guilds that produce brass goblets, glass beads, raffia hats, and cotton textiles using traditional manufacturing methods.
