Aku

Western Africa

Aku is a city in Enugu State in Nigeria. The table of Nigerian cities and urban settlements published by City Population, which reproduces the census of 26 November 1991, counts 45,985 inhabitants for Aku, and warns that all Nigerian population figures carry high error rates and that census results are disputed. GeoNames places Aku at latitude 6.70902 and longitude 7.31826, about 299 metres above sea level by its digital elevation model, in the Africa/Lagos time zone of the IANA database, which is UTC+1. GeoNames records Aku as a populated place, so it is not the capital of Enugu State. GeoNames carries a population figure of 73,742. The atlas places it in the Western Africa subregion of Africa.
