Ntezi-Aba

Ntezi-Aba is a village in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State Capital. It is located at the capital city of Abakaliki, and listed as a town under the Ebonyi local government area of Ebonyi State. The town is situated near Obiagu and Ofe-Iyiokwu villages of Izzi clan. Ntezi-Aba is presently inhabited by the Igbo subgroup of Izzi. However the town is as old as Abakaliki itself, tracing its origin back to the Orring people, a western Bantu speaking people found in Ebonyi, Benue and Cross River states. Oral sources and some written materials have it that the town was founded and inhabited by the Orring people prior to the coming of the present settlers.
