Awka, Capital city in southeastern Nigeria
Awka extends along major roads connecting to Owerri, Umuahia, Onitsha, and Enugu, forming a central transportation hub in Anambra State.
The Ifiteana people, early settlers near Ogwugwu stream, established themselves as farmers, hunters, and metal workers, shaping the foundation of Awka.
The city maintains traditional governance through a council of Ozo-titled individuals who gather in community meetings called Izu-Ọka to make collective decisions.
Nnamdi Azikiwe University and Paul University contribute to the educational landscape, serving thousands of students in this administrative center.
Metal artisans in Awka create farming tools, ceremonial objects, and weapons using techniques passed down through generations of blacksmiths.
