Travelling to Enugu

in hede-io •  6 years ago 

I want to talk about this State in the West African Country, Nigeria. Enugu State as it is called due to the fact that the capital city of the State also bears Enugu too, is a State located in the southeastern part of Nigeria. It was created out of the former Anambra State in 1991 and it has Enugu City as its largest City and also the Capital.
The name, Enugu was derived from the Capital's name but it has also important cities too which are not as big as Enugu City and they are Awgu, Nsukka and Agbani.

It was first in 1909 that the first Europeans arrived in the Area and their team was led by Albert Kitson who is a British mining engineer and it was when he was in search of silver that they found the coal in the Udi Ridge and from hence, Coal Mining started in the state.

Now, the State has developed to a very beautiful and modernized place with beautiful buildings, arts, hotels, airports and other facilities. The people are very friendly and there are lots of tourists centers there and that will be a good place to go but don't forget to take your pullover because of the cold weather.
