10 Insider Tips for Relocating to Enugu
I spent a decade in Enugu managing education projects. Here are the key things I learned to help you plan your move. Traffic laws are very strict. Don’t park on major roads or beat red lights. Vehicles get towed or slapped with hefty fines. At the same time, the city moves at a relaxed pace. Buses often wait 30 minutes for passengers. No one seems to rush, not even bankers. Enugu is one of Nigeria’s most peaceful cities. I never witnessed any communal clashes, only the occasional verbal quarrel. The city is also famous for its beauty. Six out of ten young women you meet would catch your eye, so stay focused on your goals. Enugu loves to party, earning it the nickname “Oringo Town.” Bars and parlours open early and stay busy all day. When hunger strikes, local okpa and a chilled soda cost around ₦500 and will keep you going. If you’re on a budget, Abakpa offers the cheapest rent, but avoid walking there at night. For security and convenience, consider Trans-Ekulu, Independence Layout or GRA. Note that water shortages can occur because of the hilly terrain. And don’t forget to stock up and cook on Sundays—most shops close for a full day of rest.
