Agbor is a town in Delta State, southern Nigeria, and the headquarters of the Ika South Local Government Area. It lies in the South-south geo-political zone of the country in West Africa and is the most populous town of the Ika people. Its position on the rail line that links the steel hubs of Aladja and Ajaokuta, which crosses the town and ends at Owa, gives it a transport role beyond its size. Agbor has also come to be described as a college town since the former college of education was renovated in 2021 and became the University of Delta, its best known educational institution. The town is the birthplace of a number of prominent Nigerians, among them business figures, politicians, a former Chief of Defence Staff and a media founder.
