About Abba

Abba is one of the communities in the present-day Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. The Njikoka Local Government Council, with its headquarters at Abagana is made up of six autonomous communities, namely: Abba, Abagana, Nimo, on one part as Umuowelle clan, and Enugwu-Ukwu, Enugwu-Agidi and Nawfia on the other part representing UmuNri clan. As the Umuowelle clan belongs to constituency II in the present-day Anambra State House of Assembly delineation, the Umu-Nri clan forms the constituency I. Abba lies on the 60 11′ N latitude, 60 55′ E longitude of the old Enugu/Onitsha trunk ‘A’ road through the local government headquarters, Abagana. 

 The Enugu-Onitsha dual carriage interstate road bifurcates the community into the ancestral home (part of which form the present-day farmstead) and the present-day homestead of the town.

Our History

By Peter Chukwunweike Igbo

Abba lies on the 60 11′ N latitude, 60 55′ E longitude of the old Enugu/Onitsha trunk ‘A’ road through the local government headquarters, Abagana. The Enugu-Onitsha dual carriage interstate road bifurcates the community into the ancestral home (part of which form the present-day farmstead) and the present-day homestead of the town. Abba, with its extensive farm land, is also endowed with natural resources such as ceramic mineral and natural spring water source known as, and called “Oyi” stream; the best spring water nature can provide. The abundant availability of ceramic mineral provided employment opportunities for manufacturers of clay products from both far and near. Bounded, as it were, by six autonomous communities, on one side; Eastwards is Ukpo community in Dunukofia Local Government Area, West of Abba is the Awkuzu community in Oyi Local Government Area.
