PoliticsRe: Richest Local Government Areas In Nigeria: Top 5 by saintjimos(m): 9:29am On Aug 17, 2018
Nigeria is a country that has three tiers of government namely: the Federal Government, State Government and Local Government. For the purpose of this article, we are going to list the richest local government areas in Nigeria in terms of natural resources. Before we dive into the list, lets answer few questions for clarification.
What is a Local Government ? A local government is a form of public administration which in a majority of contexts, exists as the lowest tier of administration within a given state. While a local government area is an administrative division of a country that a local government is responsible for and 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.
How many local government do we have in Nigeria? There are 774 local government areas in Nigeria according to the 1999 constitution.
What are the functions of local government in Nigeria ? Although, the list of the functions of the local government areas are enshrined in the 1999 constitution, it is not restricted to the following:
collection of taxes/fees,
provision of transportation,
establishment and regulation of parks, markets, and all the public conveniences,
birth, marriage, deaths official registration,
recommendations for State economy,
control of advertising,
licensing of various vehicles,
construction of roads and other facilities,
assessment of private houses, etc.
5 Richest Local Government Areas (LGA) list in Nigeria
1. Obio Akpor LGA
Obio Akpor is the most wealthiest Local Government Area in terms of natural resources. Located in River State which is also one of the richest states in Nigeria. Obio Akpor is one of the major cities of the Niger Delta region and the leading economic centers of the whole country, with mineral resources such as oil and gas located in the area. The local government is also divided into 7 different wards. Apart from the oil found in Obio Akpor, the residents are also involved in agriculture.
2. Ikeja LGA
It is the located in Lagos and is also Lagos state capital. In this list, Ikeja is the second richest local Government Area in Nigeria. It has one of Nigeria’s international airport, with resources such as wood, water, coal, natural gas are found in the state. The largest mall in Lagos state is located at Ikeja.
3. Kurmi LGA
It is located in Taraba state. Kurmi is the third richest local government in Nigeria among the top 10. One thing about this local government is that it is known for its fertile land which allows agricultural practice thrive in the state.

Butterflyle0:
If you believe that there's no difference between PDP and APC just because APC is about to use Akpabio against PDP in the upcoming election please tell me the difference between SGT Rogers and Akpabio.

For the benefit of those who were young during Abacha era or forgotten about the role he played later on during their trial:

Sgt Rogers was a member of the killer squad set up by Major Al-Mustapha to deal with the "enemy" of Abacha government.

It was Sgt Rogers that pulled the trigger that killed Hajia Kudirat Abiola and near snuffed life out of late Baba Adesanya.

Guess what happened during trial? Prof Yemi Osinbajo used him as a prosecution witness to nail Gen Bamaiyi, Sabo and Al-Mustapha the bigger killers.

Did the action of Osinbajo rubbish his integrity as a senior lawyer? Never!

Did the action question the genuinity of Tinubu as Governor of Lagos state? Absolutely not!

What about OBJ under which these killers were behind bars for nearly 15 years? Never!

Osinbajo used lesser evil to nail the real devil.
Those who are attacking the integrity of Mr President because of the defection of Akpabio to APC are daft, stupid and foolish.

Some of you are nothing but bloody hypocrites.

When the cold blooded murderer, Bukola Saraki and his killer squad left APC it was celebrated by you guys but as soon APC picked the lesser rogue to destroy whatever PDP stands to gain tears and sorrow became you guys middle name.
"Oh PDP is not different from APC", "Nothing like integrity in Buhari again", "Oh it is not about the common man but about how Buhari will retain power."

So Buhari and his lieutenants should fold their hands and allow Bukola or Atiku to evict them from the Villa abi so they can collectively rape Nigeria and impoverish an already recovering nation.

I pray for all of you who are against this move and I pray you all receive sense since you wish to condemn yourselves to senselessness.

Rants and insults are welcome.
