Uzuakoli

Uzuakoli is an area in Abia State of Eastern Nigeria that includes several villages. It has been home to a Methodist College, a large market, clandestine slave trading, a leprosy settlement, and the Ila Oso Festival. Uzuakoli is located within the Igbo "heartland".

The University of California has a photograph of Methodist missionaries in Uzuakoli in 1924.

In 1964, students of Methodist College of Uzuakoli wrote a short history of the area.
