Nyagatare

Nyagatare is a city and capital of Nyagatare district in Eastern Province, Rwanda. It has a population of 9000 inhabitants.

The city is located at the end of a 12 km spur from the Kayonza-Kagitumba road, and has grown considerably since 1994, boosted by an influx of former refugees from Uganda. It has a branch of the major Rwandan bank, BCDI, a post office, petrol station, a conference centre and termini for express buses to Kigali. There is also a newly opened university, on the site of the former Umutara Polytechnic.
