William Balfour Baikie (1824–1864), Scottish explorer, naturalist and philologist
According to European historical records, the current city of Lokoja was founded by William Balfour Baikie, although indigenous people have been living in the area for thousands of years.
After purchasing the site, and concluding a treaty with the Fula emir of Nupe, he proceeded to clear the ground, build houses, form enclosures and pave the way for a future city.
