Asaba-Assay (also Asaba-Ase) is a town in the Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Nigeria Delta State. It derives its name from the Asse river. It is situated a few kilometres away from the petroleum producing community of Uzere in Isoko South, and approximately six kilometres away from Abari, an Ijaw settlement in the Patani local government area of Delta State.[1][2] Asaba-Ase is one of the settlement in Ndokwa East recurrently affected by floods[3] The native languages are Ukwuani, Isoko and Ijaw thus making it the meeting point of three out of the four ethnic divisions of Nigeria's Delta State (Edoid, Igboid and Ijoid).
