Ninzo people

Ninzo people (also Gbhu and Ninzam), are an ethnic group in the Middle Belt who speak the Ninzo language, a western Plateau language of Nigeria. The speakers of the Sambe language, a now presumed extinct language spoken in a village with same name have now incorporated with the Ninzo.

There are approximately 500,000 Ninzo people.[citation needed]

The Ninzo people are found in Sanga LGA of southern Kaduna State and Akwanga LGA of Nasarawa State, Nigeria.[citation needed]

About 64% of the Ninzo are Christian, 31% Muslim and 5% adherents of Traditional religion.[citation needed]

The Ninzo people are traditionally governed by rulers called the Uchu Ninzo. The Uchu Ninzo, a Second Class Chief, as of 2018 is Uchu (Alh.) Umar Musa. The Ninzo Chiefdom headquarters is at Hate (H. Fadan Wate or Fadan Ninzo).

The Ninzo people speak a Ninzic language, belonging to the western Plateau group of languages.
