Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The best file for this purpose, for the most recent survey in Nigeria, is probably the child file, NGKR7B. This is a file of children born in the past 5 years. The variable that specifies state of residence is "sstate" and Enugu is sstate=270.

Even though your main interest is in Enugu state, it could be helpful to gain some context by comparing Enugu with the South East region as a whole, or with all of Nigeria. We have some resources on the website, such as the Guide to DHS Statistics https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/index.cfm. Good luck with your research.
