Here Are The 774 Local Government Areas In Nigeria

Here is the list of the 774 Local Government Areas In Nigeria that make up the 36 States and Abuja Federal Capital Territory Of Nigeria, West African

Nigeria also referred to as the giant of Africa due to its economy/mineral resources, is the most populated black nation in the world

It was said, that the concept behind having local government areas across Nigeria states is to provide governance at the grassroots level for the people

Also to enable the local people’s participation in government activities, their responsibilities include delivering basic services, such as providing clean water, public transportation, primary healthcare services, overseeing education at the elementary level, and more.

Yes, Nigeria as a nation is divided into 36 states, and each state is further divided into Local Government Areas (LGAs). As of the last count, there are 774 LGAs in Nigeria and here you will find the entire list

Each LGA can be considered an entity with powers capable of functions related to governance within its locality under Nigeria’s federalism structure and constitutions.

They have their own elected officials including a local government chairman who functions similarly to a governor but on a smaller scale.

The 774 LGAs symbolize Nigeria’s cultural diversity since these areas represent various ethnic groups, as well different languages across the country, from Hausa-Fulani in the north to Yoruba in the southwest and Igbo in the southeast, as well the Niger Delta’s among hundreds of others ethnics/languages.
