Tor Tiv Palace is home to the ruler of the Tiv people. The renovation was completed on April 8, 2021. The new Tor Tiv Palace is a striking architectural masterpiece as the Tiv traditional colours of black and white as well as other symbolic Tiv cultural symbols and elements were architecturally incorporated into the design and finishing of the palace. This was done to add the historical contributions of culture and tradition that Benue bequeaths to the world. It definitely is a must-see in Gboko.
