Recently Attah Igala HRM Mathew Opaluwa visited Awka to celebrate the new yam festival with Eze uzu(King of blacksmithing) HRH Austin Chukwuezugo Ndigwe of Awka.
During his(Attah Igala) visit, he was taking round the blacksmithing sites in Awka and was lectured by Eze uzu on how blacksmithing came to Igala land from Awka.
Awka being one of the popular ancient blacksmithing towns in Igbo land, today some Igala blacksmithing households came from Awka.
The Ofiji people who are famous for their blacksmithing works are descendants of Awka blacksmiths.
