Yenegoa, Administrative center in Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Yenegoa encompasses 706 square kilometers of land in the Niger Delta region, featuring waterways, swamps, and tropical rainforest vegetation.
The establishment of Yenegoa as the capital of Bayelsa State occurred on October 1, 1996, marking a new chapter in Nigerian administrative divisions.
The Ijaw people represent the main ethnic group in Yenegoa, maintaining their traditional practices through local languages, including Epie-Atissa and Ekpetiama dialects.
