About village :

Ndon Eyo is a small town in Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. It is one of the five towns that makes up Nung Ndem Clan. Lying in the middle of the clan, it has become the centre of attraction and the decider of fate even in political matters. Within its sphere, it is the most developed commercial point. It lies on the federal Trunk A road linking Eket with Ikot Abasi to Port Harcourt. There is a second federal Trunk B road starting from Ndon Eyo through Awa to Uyo the capital of Akwa Ibom State. Ndon Eyo is approximately 5 minutes from the Qua Iboe River which is a tributary of the Atlantic Ocean.

Ndon Eyo has a Primary School which dates back to the colonial days. There is also a Senior Secondary School which occupies the campus of the former Teachers' Training College. Graduates of the Science School are all over the country and are climbing higher in their chosen fields of endeavours than one initially expected.

In the past, there used to be loads of cultural festivals including the Ekpo Masquerade, Ekpe, Obon, Abang, etc. At present, these festivals have been overtaken by the Christian beliefs of the people. What remains is the end-of-year masquerades which some native people still hold onto as a reminder of the culture and tradition of the indigenous people. In this town, there is a beautiful blend of the traditional and the political systems of government especially with the increased role of traditional rulers in the lower tier of governance.
