Amuvi Development Project

The history of the Amuvi people is predominantly based on oral tradition, lacking authenticated written records.

According to the oral history, Amuvi was founded by two brothers from Umuoti Oke, Arochukwu, during a hunting expedition. Initially captivated by the untouched land, one brother built a shelter without the other’s consent, leading to a dispute settled in Favor of the shelter builder, establishing the senior and junior brother roles within the community.

Over time, the community expanded, leading to the subdivision of the Ugwogo and Eziukwu kindreds into respective subfamilies to manage various issues. Despite internal divisions, the unity of the Amuvi people is emphasized, with notable individuals contributing to the community’s growth and reputation.

The community remains committed to its heritage of unity in diversity, recognizing all members as Amuvi people above individual family distinctions.
