The Komadugu Gana River or Misau River is a river in the Chad Basin[1] in northeastern Nigeria that joins the Yobe River at Damasak, in the Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State.[2] It rises north of Bauchi.[3]
According to a 2011 report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the water flow of the river no longer reaches the Yobe.[4]
The 8,500-year-old Dufuna canoe was discovered during a dig near the river in 1987 in the Fune Local Government Area.[5]
