A state in Nigeria’s South-East geopolitical zone, Ebonyi State (Igbo: Ora Ebonyi) is bordered to the north and northeast by Benue State, the west by Enugu State, the east and southeast by Cross River State, and the southwest by Abia State. Ebonyi State was created in 1996 from portions of Abia and Enugu state. Its capital is Abakaliki, and the state is named for the Abonyi (Aboine) River, which flows through a significant portion of the state’s southern region.
Ebonyi, one of Nigeria’s smallest states, is the 29th most populous and 33rd largest in terms of area, with an estimated 2.9 million residents as of 2016. Geographically, the state is divided between the drier Guinean forest-savanna mosaic in the center and the Cross-Niger transition forests in the far south. The Cross River and its tributary, the River Aloma, are two other significant physical features. They flow along Ebonyi’s southern and eastern borders, respectively, while other Cross River tributaries, the Abonyi (Aboine), Asu, and Eze Aku rivers through the state’s interior.
The area that is presently Ebonyi was a part of the Eastern Region upon independence in 1960 until the region was split in 1967, at which point it became a member of the East Central State. Less than two months later, in the course of the three-year Nigerian Civil War, the former Eastern Region made an effort to secede alongside Ebonyi as a member of the secessionist state of Biafra. The East Central State was reconstructed following the end of the war and the reunification of Nigeria until 1976, when the state’s north became Anambra State and the south became Imo State. After fifteen years, the eastern portions of Anambra and Imo states were split off to become Enugu State and Abia State, respectively. It wasn’t until 1996 that the northeast of Abia and the east of Enugu State were divided and formed into Ebonyi State.
Ebonyi State’s economy is focused on agriculture, particularly the production of yams, rice, oil palm, and cassava. Due to lead, zinc, and limestone reserves in Abakaliki as well as locally created baskets of various sizes at Ntezi, mining is a significant minor sector. Ebonyi is home to many tertiary educational institutions and has the joint-twentieth highest Human Development Index in the nation.
