SUMMARY
This research work examined the impact of the Nigerian civil war on the urbanization of Onitsha, from a time frame of 1970 till 2000. The battle for the control of Onitsha was one of the interesting episodes during the war as the fall of the town had far reaching effects. The fall of Onitsha enabled the Nigerian Federal forces to make an inroad into the other parts of Igbo land which eventually led to the defeat of Biafra. Due to the strategic position of Onitsha during the war, the federal forces caused a lot of devastations on the economic and social infrastructural facilities ranging from schools, pipe borne water, churches, residential houses, government offices, telecommunication equipment, hospitals and clinics and the famous Onitsha Main Market were destroyed.
