Amandugba (or Amanduba) is a town in the Isu Local Government Area in Imo State, Nigeria.[1]
The community is inhabited by Isu people, a subgroup of the Igbo people.In Amauzari tradition, the town is named after Ndugba, child of Mbama Onyeukwu.[2] As of September 2010, the traditional ruler of Amandugba was Eze Innocent Ikejiofor.[3]
The community has four primary schools and one secondary technical school.[4] Amandugba and neighboring Umundugba used to be one town.[5] Both communities have suffered from an unreliable water supply from streams and brooks that often dry up, and that are breeding grounds for malaria-carrying mosquitoes and sources of diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, guinea worm, tape worm, and night blindness. A recent project by Africa We Care, a charity, has started to develop a supply based on a bore-hole.[6]
