Kabba is a town in Kogi State in southern Nigeria. It lies near the Osse (ohe in Okun) River, at the intersection of roads from Lokoja, Okene, Ogidi, Ado-Ekiti, and Egbe. The town is near Abuja.
Kabba was the administrative headquarters of the Kabba division of the defunct Northern Region of Nigeria, which includes all of the current Kogi State. Kabba is a trade centre for coffee, cocoa, yams, cassava, corn (maize), sorghum, shea nuts, peanuts (groundnuts), beans, cotton, and woven cloth produced by the Yoruba, Igbira, and other peoples of the surrounding area.
The town is populated primarily by the Yoruba people, generally referred to as the Okun people, with the Kabba indigenes also called Owe. It is the center of many educational institutions.
