Enugu definition

Enugu means ‘top of a hill’. Many visitors to Enugu may be inclined to ask how the town came about the appellation of ‘coal city’. The first European settlers who arrived in the area in 1909 were led by a British Mining Engineer called Mr. Kikson who discovered coal in the Udi ridge. Lord Frederick Lugard, the colonial Governor took keen interest in the discovery and facilitated the first shipment of coal to Britain in 1914. Increase in mining activities led to a permanent cosmopolitan settlement supported by a railway system. It acquired a township status in 1917 and subsequently became strategic to British interest (Ukwu and Okeke, 2006: 1 – 3).
