Kagoro is a large town in Kaduna State, Nigeria. It is located in the Kaura Local Government Area.
Kagoro is a Christian-dominated town. It is home to many missionaries, attracted by the cool weather and relatively high altitude. The Catholic Society of African Missions (SMA) has its northern Nigeria headquarters in Kagoro, and the Evangelical Churches of West Africa (ECWA) denomination has a strong presence there, with both a theological college and a school of health technology.
During the long reign of the late Chief Gwamna Awan, Kagoro was considered strategic during political campaigning, as politicians would visit him to receive his blessing and endorsement.
Kagoro is attractive for tourists because of its mountainous scenery and cultural events such as the Afan festival, which is celebrated annually on 1 January.
Kagoro has a post office.[1]
