Ebonyi State

State

Ebonyi State is a state of Nigeria, recorded in GeoNames as a first-order administrative division of the country. GeoNames places its reference point at latitude 6.25000 and longitude 8.08333 and gives it a population of 3,242,500. The table of Nigerian states published by City Population counts 2,176,947 inhabitants at the census of 21 March 2006 and gives a projection of 3,242,500 for 2022, and warns that all Nigerian population figures carry high error rates and that census results are disputed. City Population names Abakaliki as the capital of the state, and the atlas holds Abakaliki as a city with its capital-of edge written to this state. The atlas files Ebonyi State among the states of Nigeria, within Western Africa.
