Local government areas of Nigeria information


Map of the Nigerian LGAs, as of 2007

Nigeria has 774 local government areas (LGAs), each administered by a local government council[1] consisting of a chairman, who is the chief executive, and other elected members, who are referred to as councillors. Each LGA is further subdivided into a minimum of ten and a maximum of twenty wards. A ward is administered by a councillor, who reports directly to the LGA chairman. The councillors fall under the legislative arm of the Local Government, the third tier of government in Nigeria, below the state governments and the federal government.
