Background

The Lower Manya Kobo Municipal (LMKM) is one of the 26 administrative districts in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The Municipal came into existence as result of the split of the then Manya Krobo District into Lower and Upper Manya Krobo in 2008. It was elevated to a Municipality status in July 2012 by a Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 4026 with Odumase- Krobo as the capital.

The Administrative Capital of the District is Odumase. The District covers an area of 304.4 sq km, constituting about 1.7 % of the total land area within the Region (18,310 km). The major towns in the district include Odumase township (which incorporates Atua, Agormanya and Nuaso), Akuse and Kpong in the Lower Manya area. The District shares Boundaries with Upper Manya Krobo District to the north, to the south with DangmeWest and Yilo Krobo respectively, to the west with Yilo Krobo Municipal and to the east with Asuogyaman District.
