Local Government Areas (LGAs) are administrative divisions under the Nigeria’s federal structure. The Local Government Areas serve as the third level of government, below the states and the federal government. They are responsible for providing certain public services to local communities, such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and waste management.
Nigeria is divided into 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and each state (except the FCT) is divided into multiple LGAs. As of now, there are 774 LGAs across the country.
