Nsukka, Local government area in Enugu State, Nigeria
Nsukka extends across a region containing the towns of Mkpunano, Nru, and Ihe'n Owerre, bordered by Edem, Opi, Ede-Oballa, and Obimo communities.
The area maintained strong military forces during the 18th and 19th centuries, leading territorial expansion campaigns that resulted in the annexation of neighboring communities.
The annual Omabe masquerade festival brings together community members to honor their personal deities through traditional performances and ceremonies.
The region functions as an agricultural trade center, facilitating the exchange of crops including yams, cassava, corn, taro, pigeon peas, and palm oil.
The University of Nigeria Nsukka, established in 1960 as Nigeria's first indigenous university, stands as the region's primary educational institution.
