WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT ENUGU STATE?

That it is called Coal City because it is full of Coals?

That the people live large?

That there are sight seeing places such as the Unity Park and Ahwum waterfall?

   

   

                  

They are all correct. But you should visit the state and see for yourself.

Enugu is a city derived from the two Igbo words Énú Ủgwú meaning "hill top" denoting the city's hilly geography.  

Unity Park

042 Signifies

Enugu State has 042 code as a fond moniker, which quickly became adopted among the young and youthful population of the city after a certain indigenous rapper popularized it in one of his songs, thereby taking a cue from Pop Culture and Hip Hop communities in the U.S where the area codes became a nick name for the city.

O42 is the NITEL Telephone Area Code for Enugu State - Enugu's local dialling code, years ago when landline were still in use.

This is the place I call home! Its situated in the heart of the hills. Her rolling hills makes her unique Enugu (top of the hill) Amaka (it's beautiful), I'm not exaggerating, best believe that. I prefer living without that heartache of congestion. Look up at the hills, smile and chase the light.
