1. Yenagoa
The state capital, City, is still developing. It won’t be long until it emerges as a fully developed capital. In the town, a five-star hotel is presently being constructed by the state government. The city will draw more domestic and foreign visitors once the project and many others that are in the works are finished and Bayelsa’s beautiful beaches are brought up to par with those seen elsewhere in the world. Yenagoa is a tourist’s paradise despite being an expensive city because of the delicious cuisine and beverages the city is well famous for. This is the first on the list of Developing environments in Bayelsa State.
2. Amassoma
Amassoma City is located in the local government districts of Bayelsa state’s Southern Ijaw region.

With Arogbo town in Ondo state coming in second, it is reasonable to assume that it is one of the largest Ijaw towns. The city serves as the host town for the state-owned Niger Delta University.

5. Odi
One of the Bayelsa cities that still adheres closely to its cultural history is Odi City.

The neighborhood puts out its drums for dances, its boats for regattas, and a few pageants to liven up the celebrations on July 27th of each year. The celebration honors the defeat of an enigmatic buffalo known as Ogori, which besieged the town and attacked it relentlessly for five years. It was said that the buffalo murdered no fewer than five people at this time. One of the indigenous people, Chief Nengi Thomson Agedah, apparently set out on a quest to seek assistance from a specific Mallam of Tara to find a solution to the issue.
