Kaduna River
The 751st longest river in the world
The Kaduna River is a tributary of the Niger River which flows for 550 kilometres (340 mi) through Nigeria. It got its name from the crocodiles that lived in the river and surrounding area. Kaduna in the native dialect, Hausa, was the word for "crocodiles", while in the Nupe language territory, through which the southern section of the river flows, including its confluence with the Niger, the river is called Lavun.
Flows through: Nigeria.
