Umuahia is the capital city of Abia State in southeastern Nigeria. Umuahia is located along the rail road that lies between Port Harcourt to its south,and Enugu city to its north. Umuahia is indigenously Igbo.
Umuahia is renowned for being a railway and agricultural market center, which attracts traders and farmers from neighboring towns to sell their produce, such as yams, cassava, corn (maize), taro, citrus fruits, and palm oil and kernels. There are industries that help drive its economy, such as a brewery and a palm-oil-processing plant. Nigeria’s National Root Crops Research Institute, at Umudike, is adjacent to the town. Umuahia also has several colleges including Trinity College (theological), Government College Umuahia, Holy Rosary Girls Secondary School and hospitals like the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia (formerly Queen Elizabeth Hospital).

My town
Please do for IMO state oo 🙏 am from IMO state but I did not grew up there I want to learn more about my state thanks for your good work 👍
Your documentary about Enugu is one of the best I've seen, great job on that episode.
Umuahia needs a comprehensive urban modernization to meet state capital standards of its peers. The past governors from Orji Uzo Kalu are a complete disgrace.
Umuahia is the most peaceful town in south east
Umuahia is well planned
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aba is really taking the developments meant for the capital city Umuahia just like the way Onitsha and Nnewi takes from Awka.
Abakaliki is more popular than umuahia to be honest.
Seeing this documentary, i feel like going back soon😢… Home will always be home. Otti should just do that 6 lane road, add one more barrack and proper general hospitals.
Certainly not the most neglected and yes it needs government attention. What i took notice of, was how well planned some areas were. Kudos to you. ❤
