Abbi, Uzo-Uwani

It is an ancient traditional town historically comprising three main communities – Ezikolo, Ejona, and Uwani, with a total of upwards of 60 villages.

Ejona Abbi is the largest of the three communities and contains Enugu-Abbi, Umunye, Umunocha, Bebe, Nnuzu, Ala-echara, Ugwuogbada, Ikwoka, Uwenu-okpe, Ama-ngwu, Eziugwuobi, Owereeze, Ama-ugwu and other farm settlements.

Origin states that the ancient kingdom allowed a free inflow of nomadic hunters some of which settled into villages while others continued to move until there was a halt order in the mid 1600 AD.

Abbi, on arrival for most visitors, is more of a beautiful valley of multiple springs surrounded by evergreen grangehills of fascinating shapes and lush vegetation.

But now, Ugwuono, sadly is no more, it’s gone extinct; Umavuruma is merged with Ama-ebo and Enwerike is just one village, again, Anuka is a town an autonomous community of its own and not even in Uzo-Uwani LGA.
