Historical profile : 

The Nkambe Division, as the then administrative unit, has undergone six splits, each distinguishing a different era in its administrative life.

The first split occurred in 1958 when clan councils were formed, made up of the Warr Council with headquarters in Mbot; the Tang Council with headquarters in Talla; the Wiya Council with headquarters in Ndu; the Mbo council with headquarters in Ngou; the Yamba Council with Mfe as headquaters; the Mbembe Council with headquaters at Ako.

2. The second split saw the creation, in 1963, of councils in Nwa, Mbiyeh, Akweto and Warr.

3. The third phase came in 1967 with the merger between the Warr Council and the Mbiyeh Council to form the Wimbum Council, Mbembe/Misaje Council at Akweto; Mfumte/Yamba and Mbo formed the Nwa Council.

4. The fourth phase occurred in 1992 and was effective in 1996 with the creation of the Subdivisions with accompanying councils of Nwa, Ndu, Nkambe Central, Misaje and Ako.

5. Nkambe Rural Council then replaced the Nkambe Divisional Council, which continually had its headquarters in Nkambe. During all these periods, the councils were headed by Chairmen, with all executive powers bestowed on the Executive Secretaries. Then came the turn of Municipal Administrators who were mainly Divisional Officers.

6. This era was then followed by the nomenclature of Nkambe rural council and then the Nkambe Council, with Mayors as the heads of the councils.
