Local Government Areas
Nigeria comprises 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs). The LGAs are subordinate to their respective states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Every LGA is administered by a council consisting of a chairman, who is the chief executive, and other members, known as councilors.
LGAs are further subdivided into wards. A ward is administered to by a councilor.
The local government in Nigeria is the third tier of government, below the state governments and the federal government.
Bauchi
Bauchi is a ttate i Nigeria. The state has gone through a much transformation since it was created. During the colonial era up to independence, it formed part of the Bauchi-Plateau of the then Northern Region, until the 1967 state creation exercise, when the Bauchi, Borno, and Adamawa provinces constituted the former North-Eastern State.
With the creation of Bauchi state in 1976, then comprising present Bauchi and Gombe states, it included 16 Local Government Areas. The number of Local Government Areas in the then Bauchi State was increased to 20 and later to 23. However, in 1997 when Gombe state was created out of Bauchi and additional local governments were created in the country, Bauchi State was left with 20 Local Government Areas.
