Obia/Akpor, Local government area in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
The Obio-Akpor region spans 260 square kilometers and contains multiple industrial facilities, including Pabod Breweries and the Coca-Cola Company manufacturing plant.
Established on May 3, 1989, Obio-Akpor emerged from ancient Ikwerre territories, where the Obio people settled near the Waja River and developed their communities.
The region maintains strong connections to Ikwerre traditions through 17 electoral wards, each representing distinct neighborhoods with their own local leadership structures.
The area features Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, and Rivers State University, providing educational opportunities for local residents.
Radio Rivers 99.1 and Rivers State Television operate from Obio-Akpor, making it a central broadcasting hub for the entire Rivers State region.
