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.

All local governments in the country are single-tier and there is no difference between urban, rural or municipal councils.
