History Since the Eggon people were made up of different clans, tribes and houses, they didn't refer to themselves with any generic name. Instead, they identified with and were divided into 3 major clans: Anzo, Eholo, and Anro. While they are called Madan Dutse, by the Hausa, they are not to be confused with the Mada people of central Nigeria. But they do share similarities in language, culture and moral systems with the Mada and Rindre of Akwanga Local Government Area. The Eggon are located around thirty miles southwest of the Jos Plateau, sharing borders in the north and east with the Mada and Rindre respectively. The name "Eggon" derives from the hill where most of them lived before migrating to the lower plains later on. The word roughly means "a good sense of hearing or perception ability".
