{{Coord|5|18|21|N|6|56|44|E|display=title}}Umuagwo is a town in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area (LGA) of Imo State in Nigeria. The population is mostly Christian and Igbo-speaking. The town lies on the Otamiri River downstream from Ihiagwa and {{convert|26|km|0|abbr=on}} from Owerri on the Port Harcourt road.[1][2]

Eze Tony Oguzie, Chairman of the Council of Traditional Rulers in the Orlu (Imo West) senatorial zone, is monarch of Umuagwo.[3]

Health

Umuagwo is served by the Ohaji Medical Center.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}

The town has a busy market which does not have any toilet or sanitary conveniences and is therefore insanitary, with high risk of contamination of the foodstuffs that are sold.[4]

In a 2006 study of the prevalence of Urinary schistosomiasis, a chronic parasitic disease caused by the trematode worm Schistosoma haematobium, Umuagwo was the only town in the LGA that had no cases of infection.[5]

Education

{{Main|Imo State Polytechnic}}

The Michael Okpara College of Agriculture was established near the town in 1978, and was upgraded to become the Iwo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo in 2007.[2]

It is accredited at the State level.[6]

Chinwe Obaji was a lecturer at this institution before being appointed head of the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education.[7]

The college has researched improvements to crops, such as cassava and maize.[8][9]
