Kaduna (Kada meaning crocodile, hence Kaduna - City of Crocodiles).
Kaduna River, main tributary of the Niger River, in central Nigeria. It rises on the Jos Plateau 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Jos town near Vom and flows in a northwesterly direction to a bend 22 miles (35 km) northeast of Kaduna town. It then adopts a southwesterly and southerly course before completing its 340-mile (550-kilometre) flow to the Niger at Mureji (opposite Pategi). Most of its course passes through open savanna woodland, but its lower section has cut several gorges (including the 2-mile [3-kilometre] granite ravine at Shiroro) above its entrance into the extensive Niger floodplains
