Enugu South Towns And Villages

Enugu South is a Local Government Area in Enugu State, Nigeria, forming the southern half of Enugu city. Its headquarters sits on Nnobi Street in Uwani. The LGA covers about 67 square kilometres and borders Enugu North to the north and Nkanu East to the east.

The 2006 census counted 198,032 residents. Projections put the 2022 figure at 284,200. Igbo and English are the languages spoken across the LGA’s 13 wards, grouped into six areas: Uwani, Achara Layout, Awkunanaw, Akwuke, Amechi and Obeagu.
