Ebonyi State, Administrative division in southeastern Nigeria
Ebonyi State spans 6,400 square kilometers with a network of rivers, including the Cross River and River Aloma, supporting agriculture and transportation.
The region emerged as a separate state in 1996 when territories from Abia and Enugu states merged to form the current administrative boundaries.
The population includes multiple groups speaking different Igbo dialects, such as Edda, Afikpo, and Izzi-Ezza-Mgbo-Ikwo, maintaining their local traditions.
The state capital Abakaliki contains the State Secretariat Complex, where government departments manage local affairs and distribute resources to municipalities.
Salt deposits at Uburu Salt Lake establish Ebonyi as a mineral resource center, contributing to Nigeria's mining sector and local economy.
