The long southern border of the LGA is formed by the Niger River from Lake Jebba in the west beyond the confluence of the Kaduna River in the east. Kwara State and Kogi State are across the Niger from the LGA. Mokwa is a major meeting point where traders from the south buy food from growers in the north.
