Taraba State

State

Taraba State is a state of Nigeria, recorded in GeoNames as a first-order administrative division of the country. GeoNames places its reference point at latitude 8.00000 and longitude 10.50000 and gives it a population of 3,609,800. The table of Nigerian states published by City Population counts 2,294,800 inhabitants at the census of 21 March 2006 and gives a projection of 3,609,800 for 2022, and warns that all Nigerian population figures carry high error rates and that census results are disputed. City Population names Jalingo as the capital of the state, and the atlas holds Jalingo as a city with its capital-of edge written to this state. The atlas files Taraba State among the states of Nigeria, within Western Africa.
