Abia State is bordered by Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states, and it is the only Southeastern state that has boundary with all the other four Southeastern states in Nigeria.

While the head of LGA is chairman, councilor is the head of a council ward.

Each LGA is subdivided into council wards. Wards in Abia State play a critical role in local governance and serve as electoral units for both state and national elections. They ensure effective representation at the grassroots level, allowing for efficient management of public services and resources. Furthermore, the distribution of council wards within Local Government Areas ensures that local leaders can address the specific needs of their communities more effectively.

Each ward elects a councillor to represent its people in the local government council, thus enabling direct participation in governance by the electorate.

Abia State’s council wards structure facilitates grassroots governance and ensures that local administrations are tailored to the unique needs of smaller communities. By understanding the wards in each Local Government Area, residents can better engage with their local governance systems and participate in decision-making processes that affect their daily lives.
