Auchi

Auchi is a city in Edo State in Nigeria. The table of Nigerian cities and urban settlements published by City Population, which reproduces the census of 26 November 1991, counts 42,610 inhabitants for Auchi, and warns that all Nigerian population figures carry high error rates and that census results are disputed. GeoNames places Auchi at latitude 7.06756 and longitude 6.26360, about 188 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 Auchi as the seat of a second-order administrative division, so it is not the capital of Edo State. GeoNames carries a population figure of 62,907. The atlas places it in the Western Africa subregion of Africa.
