Ikot Ekpene

Ikot Ekpene, known throughout Nigeria as " The Raffia City", or locally simply as "IK," is a historic town, in the South-South zone of Nigeria, in the densely populated state of Akwa Ibom. It is the political and cultural capital of the Annang ethnic group in Nigeria. The town is located on a highway that parallels the coast, between Calabar to the South East and Aba to the West, with the state capital, Uyo, on this road just to the East. Umahia is the next major town to the North.
