Effiakuma is a residential town in the Western region of Ghana. It is about 10 kilometres from Takoradi the regional capital. It was built in the early 1960s by the then president of the country Kwame Nkrumah. There are about three general plans for the buildings in the area. The houses were built by the State Housing Cooperation. There are about 200,000 inhabitants in the area. On the outskirts of the town is the Effiakuma Zongo. In March 2011 many Mossi Muslims who fled the conflict in Ivory Coast took refuge in the area.[1]
The town is bounded to the west and North by Takoradi, to the east by Effia, to the south by Anaji
