Ikot Ekpene LGA, wears the crown of the most beautiful and serene local government Headquarters that's is not a state capital in Nigeria.

Its difficult to find an LGA which does not double as a state capital this beautiful outside of this city.

Ikot ekpene is fast developing and has a rich history of being the first experimental local government area council of British west Africa.
This is where the colonialist started the local government experiment in west Africa.

You can watch a brief video of the city here!

Watch the aerial video footage of ikot Ekpene before you argue.

If you are young an just starting life and looking for a place with good roads, good schools, low crime rate, affordable city and a perfect place to raise kids,
Look no further Ikot Ekpene is the place for you. Its 15mins. From Uyo Akwa ibom state capital with well articulated road networks that will mesmerize you.
Its 45mins from Victor attah international airport.
And very close to Aba and umuahia though the road to aba and umuahia are terrible.

It's in Akwa Ibom dude

If Nigeria was a more serious country, i actually support the moving of State capitals to other towns in the state, so development can spread.

Some Nigerian states are only a bit developed in their in capital cities while the other towns and cities are neglected

He never even mentioned anything about politics why do you people try to create conflict

You know what, Akpabio invented ikot Ekpene. Clap for yourself.

Akpabio built the st. Joseph's seminary
He built ritman university
He built the state polytechnic
He built all the iconic colonial churches cathedrals in ikot Ekpene that accords the city its architectural prowess. Including the ones that were there before he was born.
The colonialist consulted Akpabio before they embarked on making ikot Ekpene the first experimental local government area in British west Africa.
There was no ikot Ekpene before Akpabio and there will be no ikot Ekpene after Akpabio.

This your Akpabio is a miracle worker.

St. ANNE CATHOLIC cathedral ikot Ekpene.
An Architectural masterpiece.

A sight worth visiting, if you are interested in old European architecture.
This is just one of several old colonial buildings in ikot Ekpene.

The first African catholic cardinal in Nigeria and West African, cardinal Dominic Ekandem was the bishop of Ikot Ekpene.
Hence lots of catholic relics in this city.
