Ahoada West ^[1](also spelt Ahuda West) is a Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria, located Northwest of Port Harcourt. It was extracted in 1996 from the old Ahoada Local Government that makes up the present Orashi Region of Rivers State. Its seat is in the town of Akinima.

The Local Government Area (LGA) comprises the Ekpeyes (Ubies and Ibuduyas), Engenni and Ogbogolo communities. Thus there are three distinct languages namely, Ekpeye, Engenni and Ogbogolo.

The Orashi River criss-crosses the entire Local Government area and its vegetation is mainly a high dense rain forest. Thus, the occupations of the people are mainly farming, fishing, and hunting.^{[citation needed]}
