Enugu State, State region in southeastern Nigeria
Enugu State extends across the Udi-Nsukka Plateau, with elevations reaching 300 meters and landscapes alternating between grasslands and palm tree clusters.
The region transformed from a coal mining center into an official Nigerian state in 1991, carved from the eastern portion of the former Anambra state.
The Igbo people form the primary ethnic group in Enugu State, maintaining their traditions through agricultural practices and regional festivals.
The state capital Enugu connects to Port Harcourt through the eastern railway branch and maintains an international airport for regional transportation.
The state contains substantial deposits of natural resources including coal, iron ore, limestone, fine clay, marble, and silica sand across its territory.
