Ejagham Akamkpa

Akamkpa Local Government Area (LGA) is in the Southern Senatorial District of Cross River State Nigeria. It has a landmass of 4,300 square kilometres, and is bounded by Odukpani and Akpabuyo LGAs to the west and south, Biase and Yakurr LGAs to the northwest. Ikom and Etung LGAs to the north, and the Republic of Cameroon to the west.

There are two main ethnic groups in Akamkpa Local Government Area: Ejagham and Dusauga Iyong Iyong.

With the largest forest area in Cross River State and very fertile land watered by many rivers, streams, and springs, Akamkpa people are primarily agrarian. Agricultural estates in Ejagham Akamkpa include Kwa Fall Oil Palm Estate, Ayip Eku Oil Palm Estate, CREL Rubber Estate and Calaro Oil Palm Estates. In addition, there is a vast tract of reserved forest and Gmelina and other pulpwood plantation, privately owned rubber, oil palm, cocoa plantations, etc.

Granite rocks are abundant and hence Ejagham Akamkpa is associated with several quarrying companies. However, other solid minerals like limestone, kaolin are yet to be exploited. The tourism attraction in Akamkpa Local government includes Qua Falls in Aning-eje, Oban Hills located in Oban, Wildlife National Park, and a few.

The Paramount Ruler of Akamkpa LGA is His Royal Majesty (HRM), Echi-Atui, Ntufam Clement A. Emayip.

    Under Awi clan, the name of my village is either not there or spelt wrongly, AYAEBAM village. It shares a direct boundary with Awi and Nsan. Thank you very much.
