It is bordered to the north and northeast by the states of Enugu and Ebonyi, to the west by Imo State, to the east by Cross River State, to the southeast by Akwa Ibom State, and to the south by Rivers State.
Abia State (Igbo: ha Abia) is a state in the South-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Its name is an abbreviation for the four most populous regions of the state: Aba, Bende, Isuikwuato, and Afikpo (although Afikpo later amalgamated with a portion of Enugu state to become Ebonyi state in 1996). The major city and commercial hub in the state is Aba, while Umuahia is the capital.
With an estimated population of more than 3 727 347 as of 2016, Abia is the 27th most populous and the 32nd largest state by area. Geographically, the state is divided between the swamp forests of the Niger Delta in the extreme south and the drier Cross-Niger transition woods, which include some savanna, in the rest of the State. The Imo and Aba Rivers, which run along the Abia’s western and southern borders, are additional significant geographical features.
Various ethnic groups have lived in the modern-day Abia State for many years, but the Igbo people make up the majority of the population. Before the Aro Confederacy, which had its capital in Arochukwu, was vanquished by British forces in the early 1900s, what is now Abia State was a component of the Aro Confederacy. Following the conflict, the British annexed the region and made it a part of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate, which ultimately amalgamated with British Nigeria. As a result of this merger, Oloko-based Women’s conflict made Abia a focal point of anti-colonial resistance.
The Abia gained its independence in 1960 and remained a member of the Eastern Region until the region was partitioned in 1967, at which point it joined the East Central State. Less than two months later, the former Eastern Region made an effort to separate as a component of the secessionist state of Biafra during the three-year Nigerian Civil War with Abia. The East Central States were combined following the war’s end and for Nigeria’s reunification until the Murtala Muhammed government created Imo State in 1976, which included present-day Algeria. Imo State was divided fifteen years later, with the eastern portion of Imo being removed to create the former Abia State. However, in 1996, a portion of Abia’s northeast was removed to become a portion of the new Ebonyi State.
Abia State’s economy is centered on the production of natural gas, crude oil, and agricultural products such yams, maize, taro, oil palm, and cassava. Manufacturing is a significant minor industry, particularly around and around Aba. Abia ranks eighth in the nation for its joint-eighth highest Human Development Index due to its rapidly expanding population and industry.
