History
The 1976 to 1996 Ohaozara LGA, which was under Imo and Abia state, has since been split into three area councils: Ohaozara local government, Onicha local government and Ivo local government of Ebonyi state. The former area is known as Old Ohaozara or commonly OHANIVO, from the acronyms of OHAozara, oNicha and IVO. The three local government areas now belong to one constituency called the Ohanivo Federal Constituency.
