The Lagdo dam was built between 1977 and 1982 by a combination of engineers and Chinese workers, along with Cameroonian laborers. The company that managed the construction was the China International Water & Electric Corp. Today, international power company AES SONEL runs the hydroelectric dam.
The dam is located 50 km south of the city of Garoua on the Benue River.

The dam is 308 m long, 40 m in height and 9 m thick. The dam is located within the Arrondissement de Lagdo in the Département de la Benoué in the North Province.
In 2012, Water Released from the dam flooded areas around the dam including Adamawa State in Nigeria, the flooding resulted in over 10 deaths and loss of properties worth thousands of dollars.

This is not the first time such an occurrence,but the government of Nigeria are still yet to find a solution.
