Billiri (or Biliri) is one of the 11 Local Government Areas of Gombe State, Nigeria bordered to the north by Akko Local Government Area, south and east by Shongom as well as North-East by Kaltungo Local Government Area. It is a historical settlement of the Tangales which is located South of Gombe[1] It has an area of 737 km2 and a population of 202,144 at the 2006 census. Apart from Tangale language, Fulfulde and Hausa are commonly spoken[1] The postal code of the area is 771.[2]
Most of the inhabitants of Billiri are Christians while Muslims formed the largest minority.[3][1] The dominant tribe is Tangale which means "Tangle".
The traditional ruler of the Local Government Area is called the "Mai Tangale".[4] The death of the Mai Tangale in 2020 brought about communal unrest in the Biliri community due to the delay in reinstating a new Mai Tangale.[3][5]
