Nun River

River, southern Nigeria. Considered the direct continuation of the Niger River, it flows southwest to the Gulf of Guinea, at Akassa. It was a trade route in the 19th century, when the Igbo kingdom controlled commerce. Petroleum was discovered along the Nun in 1963, and oil is piped from the oil fields along the Trans-Niger Pipeline.
