Uruan Towns And Villages
Uruan is a Local Government Area in the northeast of Akwa Ibom State, southern Nigeria, bordering Cross River State. It split from Uyo LGA in 1988 and covers about 449 square kilometres. The council seat is at Idu.
The 2006 census counted 117,169 residents. Projections put the 2022 figure near 149,500. Uruan holds 11 wards grouped into Central, Southern and Northern districts, each carrying its own postal code: 520105, 520106 and 520107.
Seven clans remain of Uruan’s original twelve: Akwa Uruan, Etongko Mkpe Uruan, Mutaka Uruan, Ekondo Uruan, Mosongko Uruan, Ibonda Uruan and Akpe Iboku Uruan. Farmers grow cassava and maize, and fishing and raffia-palm cutting support riverside households. Uruan people speak Uruan, close to Ibibio and Efik.
