Middle Belt coalition

Middle Belt is an informal term, not officially recognized by the federal government of Nigeria, that is used in human geography to designate the region stretching across Nigeria longitudinally and forming a transition zone between Northern and Southern Nigeria. It is composed of the southern half of the defunct Northern Region of Nigeria, now comprising mostly the North Central and parts of the North East and North West geopolitical zones, and is characterised by its lack of a clear majority ethnic group. It is also the location of Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory.
