“Lokoja” as a book category gathers fiction, nonfiction, and poetry rooted in or inspired by Nigeria’s confluence city and the wider Niger–Benue corridor. It centers stories of crossroads—trade, migration, empire, and everyday life—where Igala, Ebira, Nupe, Okun-Yoruba, Hausa, and other cultures meet and reshape one another. Spanning precolonial river worlds, Royal Niger Company and colonial encounters, post‑independence transformations, and contemporary urban and environmental change, Lokoja titles foreground layered histories, multilingual voices, and the symbolism of water, ferries, markets, and Mount Patti. The category welcomes historical epics, family sagas, travel writing, memoir, reportage, oral histories, and speculative reimaginings that explore confluence, hybridity, and borderland resilience. Whether set in Kogi State or thematically echoing Lokoja’s spirit of meeting and mixing, these books offer an intimate window onto a pivotal Nigerian crossroads and the wider stories that flow through it.
