Ataba is a coastal town in Andoni, Rivers State, Nigeria. [1] The town is known for its abundant coconut and palm kernel shells. [2] It is at the western end of Andoni. [3] Over several centuries, Ataba has been a receptacle of multiple migrations. [4]
Structure
On the mainland, the town is divided into nine quarters: Egweisiyork (the royal seat/quarter), Egweite, Egweogogor, Egwebe, Egweaba, Egweituk, Egweosot, Egweaja, and Egwenkan.
Ataba has two political wards and a dominant presence in the politics of Andoni. [5] It is the headquarters of Andoni West Archdeaconry of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion. [6]
Ataba has four local government areas (namely Bonny, Ogu-Bolo, Gokana, and Khana LGAs)
Geography
Ataba has swampy creeks with abundant seafood. It is bordered by Bonny LGA to the southwest, Ogu-Bolo LGA to the northwest, Gokana and Khana LGAs on the north, other Andoni communities in the east and the Atlantic Ocean on the south. [7]
Transport
The ongoing multi-billion Naira Bodo-Ataba-Bonny road is funded by the NLNG and the Federal Government of Nigeria. It is expected to open Ataba and Bonny LGA to development. [8]
