kogi state
in the first half of the twentieth century the town expanded as a result of activities of the niger company and later uac which acquired the trading interest of the niger company and its assets at burutu. prior to the beginning of the twentieth century, the main port of the niger company was at akassa but when the water channel that opens to the sea became silted, the company moved operations westward to burutu close to forcados. burutu then served as a port terminal for niger company and uac, discharging goods from ships for onward water transport to river ports in northern nigeria and french territories through rivers niger and benue.
