> List of Council Wards, Local Government Areas (LGAs) and States in Nigeria

The state’s 27 Local Government Areas are further divided into various administrative zones. These councils facilitate governance at the grassroots level, ensuring that development projects and social services reach even the most remote parts of the state. The councils work closely with state ministries to implement policies tailored to each locality’s needs.

Jigawa operates under a democratic government system, with elected officials at both state and local levels. The state’s unicameral legislature consists of 30 members representing each constituency. A State Executive, headed by the governor, administers policies and oversees development programs, while an independent judiciary ensures justice and law enforcement.
