South South, Geopolitical zone in southern Nigeria.
The South South region encompasses six states along the Atlantic coast, forming a crucial part of the Niger Delta with mangroves and coastal forests.
The region emerged in 1997 through Nigeria's administrative restructuring under General Sani Abacha, following recommendations from the Alex Ekwueme panel.
Multiple ethnic groups including Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio, and Edo peoples maintain their languages, traditional ceremonies, and distinct social structures in the region.
Port Harcourt International Airport serves as the main gateway to the region, with regular connections to Lagos, Abuja, and other Nigerian cities.
The region produces over 80% of Nigeria's oil resources through extensive offshore drilling operations in the Niger Delta waters.
