clan and has been in existence since the 14th century. It occupies an
enviable strategic position South of Abia state
The Azumini Blue River is located in Abia state towards its boundary
with Akwa Ibom state. The River has become a resort for Tourist
because of the pleasantness it offers. The attractive features of the
River include its crystal Clear Blue River hence it is uniquely called
Azumini Blue River. It is often said and perhaps rightly so, that
there is no other River in the entire country of Nigeria that is as
Blue and clear as the Azumini River. The Azumini Blue River is so
clear that fishes and gravels could almost be counted from the river's
bridge. There are canoe riders, a lot of variety of consumable fish.
sandy beaches with beautiful relaxation sites.
The Blue River can be arguably called the crown jewel of all tourist
centres, as it is a rare kind. It is a wonder of nature and the
Azumini people are proud of it. The Azumini people believe that it was
because of the peculiar nature of the river that their fore bearers
decided to settle in the present location called Azumini.
This Blue River has important tourism value and is well recognized
both nationally and internationally as one of the 70 tourist sites in
Nigeria. In Abia State, it is listed among its first two.
The river has a sparking blue aqua marine colour (like the beautiful
Caribean Sea of the Bahamas), and you will be able to see all the way
to the white sandy bottom of the river several feet deep, even under
the moonlight. When the bright sunlight glistens on the river, you
will see a more beautiful sight of nature: it is pure immaculate. This
river mostly remained as virgin as it was when the Azumini fore
bearers came upon it. That is why in the list of the Nigerian tourism
sites, it is listed as "Azumini Blue River Rose".
The place still remains an attractive rest area and mini resort for
tourists and visitors. If a fishing industry is established, visitors
would be quite taken in by the incorporation of ancient and modern
fishing farm technology.
