NODE 01
TERRAIN / PROFILE
A growing Etsako West settlement where education, agriculture, mobility and everyday community life meet.
Iyamho sits within the wider Uzairue landscape and the movement network linking communities around Auchi and the northern Edo corridor. Its character is not defined by one institution alone. Campus life, farming, homes, commerce, transport and community relationships operate together as a larger living system.
Auchi — Abuja Movement
The major road corridor connects the area with Auchi, nearby settlements and longer-distance movement toward northern Edo and beyond. People, goods, students, workers and services all move through this wider network.
Farm Economy & Food Systems
Agriculture remains part of the broader Etsako West landscape. Cassava and other food crops connect farms with household consumption, processing, local commerce and regional markets.
Homes, Services & Everyday Life
Beyond institutional development, Iyamho is a place of homes, families, schools, worship, roadside commerce, local services and everyday relationships with neighbouring communities.

NODE 07 HUMAN SYSTEM
