Alago group belong to the famous kwararaia kingdom and have settled
for many years in the upper Benue valley even before the coming of
colonial people. The need to move or migrate after the colonial rule
among the Alago people became imperative, this movement was
necessitated because of the people desire to change their place of
residence in order to have a conducive environment. Some were
compelled to move because of lack of social amenities within their
domain and these social amenities include electricity, water, road,
hospital, schools, market for their economic activities and as well as
fertile land for farming. These and many more formed the basis of this
study as to why the Alago people of Nasarawa State keeps migrating
even after the colonial rule, in particular between 1960-2001
