The Adamawa Plateau (French: Massif de l'Adamaoua) is a plateau region in west-central Africa stretching from south-eastern Nigeria through north-central Cameroon (Adamawa and North Provinces) to the Central African Republic.
The Adamawa Plateau is the source of many waterways, including the Benue River.
The endangered toad Amietophrynus djohongensis is known to exist in the wild only in the Cameroonian part of the Adamawa Plateau.
[3][4] The plateau is sparsely populated, and cattle raising is the main occupation in the area.
[2] The province and plateau were named after Fulani Muslim leader Modibo Adama, whose jihad significantly affected the population of the area.
