There is no reliable public estimate for the exact number of people who consume pigeon pea in Enugu, so any precise figure would be speculative. A safer answer is that pigeon pea is consumed by a significant but uncounted share of households in parts of southeastern Nigeria, especially where it is used as a local soup ingredient or mixed-crop food source.

What can be said

  • No source I found gives a citywide or statewide consumer count for Enugu.
  • Available materials on pigeon pea focus more on production, nutrition, and rural consumption patterns than on exact consumer totals.
  • Because Enugu is a large urban and peri-urban food market, consumption likely varies by income, season, and household food culture rather than being evenly spread across the population.

Practical estimate

If you need a working estimate for a report, it is better to frame it as:

  • “Exact numbers are unavailable.”
  • “Consumption appears to be localized and moderate.”
  • “A survey of households, markets, or food vendors would be needed to estimate users accurately.”

Best way to phrase it

You could write:

“There is currently no verified public dataset showing the exact number of pigeon pea consumers in Enugu; available evidence only suggests that it is a locally consumed food in some households and markets.”

If you want, I can help you turn this into a short survey-based estimate method for Enugu.
