Local Government Areas in Nigeria…Nigeria has a complex cultural system with 774 local government areas (L.G.As). And every local government space is administered by a local Government Council comprising of a chairman who is the Chief executive of the LGA, and alternative elective members who are named as Councillors that are in control of Wards.

What is a Local Government Area?

A local government is a type of public administration that, during a majority of contexts, exists because of the lowest tier of administration inside a given state. The term is employed to cause a distinction with offices at state level, that is stated because of the central government, national government, or (where appropriate) centralized (federal government) and additionally to a supranational government that deals with governing establishments between states. Local governments typically act inside powers delegated or allocated to them by legislation or directives of the upper level of the presidency. In federal states, local government usually contains the third (or sometimes fourth) tier of the presidency, whereas, in unitary states, local government usually covers the second or third tier of the presidency, usually with bigger powers than higher-level body divisions.
