Travel through the artistic work of Nature in Nassarawa.
Hakuri! Son of Nasarawa
From far corners have we heard
Filled with mixed feelings but we have come
Behold! Home of solid minerals
Born out of Old Plateau Stae
Please, pass us through the tales of History
We've long read of "HILLS"
Hakuri show to us with patience
The 'Mada hills' of Akwanga
'Mai Rambu hills'of Awe
'Efugogiri hills'of of Doma
'Eggon hills' of Nasarawa eggon
Fishing is our lifestyle
Born and raised by the riverside
Hakuri, take us to the "LAKES"
Za my yu hankuri har mu- see
The 'Kunki lakes' Of Awe
'Doka Crocodile lake' of Keana
'Umaisha fishing lake' of Toto
Diversity in "CULTURE" and "LANGUAGE"
January to February
Particularly cold and dusty
Owning to the dry harmattan wind
That blows from the North East zone
Hakuri, I love the climate!
Which helps levitate
Soon we shall return home
When shall we visit the "SPRING"
The 'Tunga Nupawa Spring'
And the 'Assakio spring' of Lafia
The 'Farin-Ruwa falls' of Kwarra
For I see them only in pictures
Hakuri, When we've gone
Read to us "RESERVES"
The tales of 'Akeleku forest reserve' of Obi
The tales of 'udege wander land' of Nasarawa
The tales of 'Tie & Dye pits' of Keffi
The History 'Karu mordern market'
Read to me "FESTIVALS"
The tales of 'Keana salt festival'
The 'Ajele/Igga fishing festival'
The tales of 'Odu of Poma'
The 'Agana/Sakwo' of Kokona
The tales of Ogbli of Duglu
For time, we must sail back home
Hakuri, Say to thy people
"Swing no more to foreign drums
But to our own Ancient drums
Brush not away Mother tongue
And keep track of the Ancient path
For your CULTURE TO LIVE ON"
God bless you Hakuri,
God bless Your Sons & Daughter,
God bless the Home of solid minerals,
God bless NASARAWA STATE.

I observed that Nasarawa State has the highest number of Minerals beneath the Earth all over the world. Indeed Nasarawa is blessed.
