Awgu, Local government administrative center in Enugu State, Nigeria
Located between latitudes 06 00' and 06 19' North, Awgu features extensive hills on the western side and fertile lowlands in the east of Enugu State.
The region emerged from a larger administrative division that originally included Aninri and Oji River local government areas before establishing its current boundaries.
The area maintains traditional Igbo practices through seasonal festivals, with numerous events highlighting local music, dance, and ceremonial dress throughout the year.
The settlement patterns follow the topography, with many residents establishing homes near the hills to access the fertile agricultural lands for cultivation.
The community of Mgbowo within Awgu houses over 80 university professors, making it a center of academic concentration in Enugu State.
