1. Obio Akpor. It is the most prosperous Local
Government Area. It is situated in the River
State (Port Harcourt metropolis). It is one of the
leading economic centers of the whole country.
Besides, this is a major city of Niger Delta.
Its total area is more than 250 sq. km, while the
population approaches to 880,000. It is divided
into seventeen wards. Among the most
widespread natural resources, we can

2. Ikeja . It is the second richest LGA in Nigeria.
It’s located in the Lagos State. It’s also
considered its capital. Before 1980s, it was a
commercial town with plenty of department
stores, reservation areas, and other things.
Then, there was an emergence of military rule.
Nowadays it’s a significant city. There is an
international airport there as well as the largest
mall in the state. Natural gas, coal, wood, and
water are the most common resources of the
area. 11 Likes 1 Share

3. Kurmi . It’s situated in the State of Taraba. It is
famous for the richness of resources. The soil
of the land is very fertile, which gives lots of
opportunities to the agricultural sector. They
grow various plants, such as rice, bananas,
oranges, cocoas, and so on. As you may
suppose, the majority of people there are
farmers and their produce the greatest part of
crops for consumption in the whole country. All
the rest are exported, which gives extra money
to the area. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

4. Esan Central. Located in Edo state, it’s
composed by several towns and cities. Its major
sector is agriculture. However, people of this
land are also engaged into industry. There are
lots of hotels, factories, and hospitals there. 14 Likes |

5. Etinan. This area belongs to Akwa Ibom State. It
is thought to be the richest in oil production.
It’s famous for crafting and agriculture as well.
Besides, it’s the most peaceful territory in the
Western Nigeria.
These are the richest and most prosperous regions of
the country. There used to be more of them,
however, particular factors, like Civil War, have
affected them.
Now you know a bit more about the politics in
Nigeria and the principles of country division. There
are many LGAs in this state. They are not equally
developed. There exist those, which are wealthier
than the others are. It is caused by various factors.
Natural resources are one of the key reasons. 7 Likes

[size=15pt]I don't believe this information is accurate. But i hope it is. The problem however is the sheer NUMBER of LGAs in northern states. Kano State for instance has 44 LGAs while Bayelsa has just 8. The average northern state no matter how much desert has taken over the entire place has at least 15 LGA created in the middle of the desert just to collect federal allocation. So if Bayelsa's 8 LGAs are slightly richer (because they produce oil) than each Kano's LGA, by sheer numbers, Kano with 44 LGAs or Katsina with 34 LGAs still collects more than 500% greater allocation from the federation account on their LGAs alone than Bayelsa could ever hope for.[/size] 91 Likes 8 Shares |
