Catchment area of the Yobe River
Yobe River in 1900
[1] [2]
The Yobe River , also known as the Komadougou Yobe or the Komadougou-Yobe (French : Komadougou Yobé ), is a river in West Africa that flows into Lake Chad through Nigeria and Niger .[3]
Its tributaries include the Hadejia River , the Jama'are River ,[4] and the Komadugu Gana River .[5] The river forms a small part of the international border between Niger and Nigeria .[6]
There are concerns about changes in the river flow, economy and ecology due to upstream dams, the largest at present being the Tiga Dam in Kano State , with plans being discussed for the Kafin Zaki Dam in Bauchi State .[7]
The River Yobe provides a means of subsistence for hundreds of thousands of people who work in a variety of commercial and agricultural endeavours along its almost 200 km length in the state's northern region, which spans seven local government areas (LGAs) from Nguru to Yunusari.[8]
Notable towns near the river include Gashua , Geidam , and Damasak in Nigeria , and Diffa in Niger .
