Ase (pronounced Assay) is a town on the shores of the Ase Creek, off River Niger in Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. The Ase Creek derives its name from Ase town. Ase shares common boundaries with Ibedeni, Aviara, Uzere, Patani (all in Delta State) and Trofani (in Bayelsa State). In the colonial era, Ase served as the commercial and administrative Headquarters for the colonial administrators. Relics of colonial presence still dot the landscape. John Holt and UAC are some of the companies that had trade offices in Ase. The town is made up of descendants from Ndokwa speakers who have intermarried with the Isokos and Ijaws over the years. The Ase dialect of the Ndokwa language (a dialect of the Igbo language) is spoken by the Ase people.
Politics and Government: Ase town was founded by Ebeneze and its ruler is the Igwe (the current Igwe is HRH Ifeanyichukwu Ogeh 1) who is duly recognised and gazetted as a traditional ruler in Nigeria by the Delta State Government. He is the custodian of the customs and traditions of Ase people. The monarch is influential in Ndokwaland and he is a member of the local government and state council of traditional rulers. The Umu-Ogwezi royal family of Umuonotu Quarter is the only royal ruling house in Ase Clan. Ogwezi is Ebeneze’s first male child. There are migrants from Isoko and Ijaw who have settled in Ase for a long time.
