Local government areas of Nigeria

Nigeria has 774 local government areas (L.G.As). Each local government area is administered by a Local Government Council consisting of a chairman who is the Chief Executive of the LGA, and other elected members who are referred to as Councillors. Each of the areas is further subdivided into wards with a minimum of ten and a maximum of fifteen for each area. Each Ward is being looked after by the councillor responsible for it. Just like the state and federal government, the councillor report directly to the chairman of the local government. The councillors are under the legislative arms of government.
