Aguata is a Local Government Area in Anambra state in Nigeria, with its headquarters in Aguata, a major part of which falls into the city of Ekwulobia, while the smallest part falls within Aguluezechukwu. There has been an age-long contention on this issue between the indigenes of Aguluezechukwu and Ekwulobia, with both towns claiming the status of the headquarters on account of ownership claim to the 'Aguata land'. This state of affairs made the Government of Anambra State to officially declare that the headquarters of Aguata Local Government Area should be Aguata in a bid to settle the conflict. Slogan: The Orient Colossus.
