After thorough searches online for literatures on Isiukwuato, nothing much was written about them or their culture except this:
"Isuikwuato is a local government area in Abia State in southeastern Nigeria. It has an estimated population of over 50,000 people. Isuikwuato contains many natural resources like Iron ore, Kaolin etc. Oil lines flow throw Isuikwuato and there have been cases of burst pipe which have had severe effects on the local economy and environment. The major cash crops are palm oil and cassava. Isuikwuato is also home to Abia State University Uturu.
Isiukwuato people are predominantly Christians. Catholic, Anglicans, Presbyterians and Methodists dominate other denominations but others such as Assemblies of God has made inroad into the place. The Isuikwuato Christian Organisation (ISUCCO) has helped to evangelise the communities.
Lambert Ndukwe, who was one of the richest men in Nigeria in 1950's, known for stock fish importation from Norway and cotton exportation to Europe is from Isuikwuato"
Abia Post announces it's scheduled first physical meeting with Abia Senior Citizen. With the cooperation of our dear brother, Oforegbu Mike, we've concluded arrangements to interview our first ever Abia Senior Citizen, from Isuikwuato.
Knowing Isuikwuato for what it represents and having birthed notable personalities, we decided to visit the senior citizens themselves who we believe have much cultural information in their archive. It promises to be a worthwhile visit. Note that (ASCI) Abia Senior Citizens Interview, will be conducted across each LGA of Abia State.
We are still collating information on Abia Senior Citizens. Let us know who yours are. Email details to us @ abiapost@gmail.com.
Stay tuned for our first ever ASCI coiming your way soon.
