It’s called the coal city state because of its large coal deposits. Unfortunately, the coal deposits are yet to be explored or taken advantage of by the people or government. Clearly, it’s due to our over dependency on sweet crude. Regardless, a sector the Enugu state government has made efforts to develop over the years is the tourism sector. Like coal, Enugu State is blessed with so many tourist attractions that are dotted all over the state. Hence, it’s highly recommended for any tourist or fun lover. Besides if you reside in Enugu and you are looking to get out of the rut, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares some of the things you can do. Enjoy.
