Aba

Aba is a large commercial city in southeastern Nigeria, founded by the Ngwa clan of the Igbo people as a market town and long known for its craftsmen. A British military post established here in 1901 was followed by a railway connecting the city to Port Harcourt, cementing its role as a regional trading hub. Today it serves as the commercial centre of Abia State, with road links to Port Harcourt, Owerri, and Umuahia.
