Richest LGA list in Nigeria
Now when you’ve known about factors that have their
impact on the ratings, we can observe the list of the
wealthiest areas. It contains:

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 distinguish natural gas and oil. Agricultural sector is also quite popular.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ikeja!



Ikeja!!




Ikeja!!!

Edit:Obio/Akpor,my area.

[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]

Oshogbo not there?

cckris:

That's what Military Regimes IMPOSED on the Constitution of Nigeria, AND INSIST that this can't be renegotiated. But there're many ways to solve every problem.

Now it makes even more sense why people want federalism! Thank you for putting the finishing touches on the issue. You just brought it all together.

iRep Etinan boy!

That's true. But this is also the worst LGA in Nigeria. They double tax you and you pay endless taxes. Not only this LG but the whole LGA generally in Port harcourt. They aren't friendly to business starters at all.

What about Apapa in Lagos?

we need to restructure this country, we can't be in a Democratic era and be using a military constitution.
