Umuahia's National War Museum and Ojukwu Bunker form a coherent modern-history trip that deserves more time than a quick stop on a wider Abia route.
More context
Federal preservation work has been active in 2026, so the itinerary depends on confirming what is open rather than assuming old visitor reports still apply.
