The study area with an area at about 72 square kilometer is one of the most density populated areas in south-Eastern Nigeria. The provisional result, of census showed that the population of Enugu urban was 464,514 (NPC, 1998:35).
The annual growth rate of Enugu according to NPC, (1998) as cited by Umoh (2001) was 3.6%. According to Umoh(2001) the formula for .population projection is given as:
Pt = P0 (I+r) where
Pt = population in year (2006)
P0 = population in year 0 (references population)
r = population growth rate
t = constant
Therefore, using the population growth rate and formula above, the population of Enugu urban area for the year 2006 is projected to 762,141
