Where the river is more than a landscape.
Where every paddle carries a story.
Along the banks of the Niger River, Patigi in Kwara State comes alive with rich Nupe heritage, colourful traditions and a deep connection to the water.
Through the Patigi Regatta, decorated boats, canoe races, music and cultural performances transform the river into a vibrant celebration of identity and community.
Beyond distributing power, we're proud to illuminate communities whose traditions, landscapes and stories continue to enrich Nigeria's cultural heritage.
