Abor

Skip Abor as a destination: it's a roadside settlement on the Enugu–Nsukka road, not a place you need to stop for. Use Enugu as your base for the region.

Abor is a small town in Enugu State, about 2 km from Milliken Hill and 1 km from Ninth Mile Corner. It has a brewery and a nearby waterfall, but no accommodation or restaurants that cater to travellers. Most people pass through on the way to Nsukka or Enugu without stopping.
