Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Local government area in Rivers State, Nigeria

The area encompasses three distinct regions, Ogba, Egbema, and Ndoni, covering 1,621 square kilometers of fertile land near the River Niger.

Established in 1991 from the Old Ahoada region, this administrative division has developed into a center for oil and gas exploration since the 1960s.

The region maintains traditional leadership structures with the Oba of Ogbaland, Nze-Obi of Egbema Kingdom, and Awor of Ndoni guiding their respective communities.

The territory contains twelve oil and gas production fields operated by major companies including AGIP, Total Energies, and Shell/NPDC within its boundaries.

The annual Nchaka festival in November features five days of celebrations with wrestling competitions and masquerade displays by the Ogba community.
