Oimiyan is a popular masquerade festival in Owan East. However, it is performed and celebrated by both young and old. The festival is a very popular one that draws attention from far and near to the community.
The games village, which includes the Afuze College of Physical and Health Education, was built in 1974 by the then military governor of Midwestern State, Brigadier-General Samuel Ogbemudia, and opened by General Yakubu Gowon. It is situated on a surveyed land area of 146,998 hectares. It was built with tiny housing units to house, train, and prepare state athletes for the National Sports Festival, which began in 1973.
