Enugu is the capital city of Enugu State, Nigeria. It has a very large population of about 5 million (2005 census estimate) living in the vast city and its suburbs. The people of Enugu belong to the Igbo ethnic group, which is one of the three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. The name Enugu comes from the two Igbo words enu Ugwu, or “top of the hill.” Slogan: Perpetual Apex Pride. Enugu was originally the capital of the Eastern Region from Nigeria’s independence in 1960 until 30 May 1967, when it was declared the first capital of the short-lived nation of the Republic of Biafra; on 28 September 1967 Enugu was captured by Nigerian troops, so the next Biafran capital became Umuahia. After the end of the Nigerian Civil War (in 1970), the old Eastern Region was divided into a number of states, and Enugu became the capital of Anambra State. In 1991, the military dictatorship of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida divided the old Anambra State into two new states, Enugu State and Anambra State. Enug
