Aninri Towns And Villages

Aninri is a Local Government Area in Enugu State, Nigeria, carved from the old Awgu LGA in 1996. Its headquarters sits at Ndeaboh, near 6°03′N 7°35′E. Five traditional districts make up the area: Nenwe, Ndeaboh, Mpu, Okpanku and Oduma.

The 2006 census counted 136,221 residents. Projections put the 2022 figure near 195,500. Aninri borders Awgu to the northwest and Nkanu East to the northeast, and farming is the main occupation across all five districts. Four junctions off the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway lead into the area: Onwe, Nenwe, Mgbowo and Aki na Ukwa.
