Kugama people, wa̰m or wa̰a̰, live in a number of villages in Mayo-Belwa, Fufore, and Jada Local Government Areas (LGA) of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Many Kugama live in the town of Mayo-Belwa, the administrative center of Mayo-Belwa LGA, and in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State. 

Kugama people call their language ɲaa wa̰m or ɲaa wa̰a̰ "Wam language". The Kugama community is currently involved into two projects that aim to describe and maintain the Kugama language. These are the PhD project "A grammatical analysis and documentation of Kugama" led by Lora Litvinova and the Bible Translation Project led by community members. 

Kugama people actively maintain their traditions by organizing different cultural festivals and ceremonies, as well as sharing their culture with other people. Here are some interesting facts about Kugama culture:
