Churches in Tarka, Benue

Tarka is a Local Government Area (LGA) located in Benue state, Nigeria. The headquarters of this area is situated in the town of Wannune. Tarka LGA was created on 8th December, 1996. The LGA is named after the late Sen. Chief. (Dr) Joseph Sarwuan Tarka, a renowned and frontline politician. The local government shares boundaries with Guma, Gwer, Buruku and Gboko local governments to the North, West, East and South respectively. Tarka local government is made up of three administrative districts namely: Mbajir, Mbalahan and Mbachoughul.

Recent geological surveys have revealed that there are deposits of clay and precious stones in large commercial quantities which industrialists can readily make use of. There is also a water fountain, which can be exploited to produce bottled spring water for domestic consumption. The low level land and Guinea Savannah vegetation with fairly tall sparsely grown trees and grasses favour the growth of both root and grain crops simultaneously. There is also large scale vegetable production.
