Asaba[3] (Igbo: Ahaba) is the capital of Delta State, Nigeria. A rapidly growing city, it is located at the western bank of the Niger River, in the Oshimili South Local Government Area.[4][5][6] Asaba had a population of 149,603 as at the 2006 census,[2] and a fast growing metropolitan population of over half a million people.[7][4]
In some respects, Asaba and neighboring Onitsha in Anambra form a continuous metropolitan area. The First and Second Niger bridges form the boundary between Delta and Anambra, the Niger’s relatively centralized location in this region recognizes it as the geopolitical border between Eastern and Western Nigeria.
In October 2023, Asaba joined the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and was named a UNESCO City of Film.[8]
